Yes I agree I like to run cooler but I found I was replacing the cat every two years, I've been told the lower temps were contributing to its failure. Since I switch over to dual exhast with bullet cats I've passed emissions twice so thats been a good improvement. These little cats are going on 4 years now. I've been using synthetic oil exclusively for many years, infact most of the car's life.


I don't see why the cats would fail from the coolant running 20 degrees cooler. The exhaust gases are still hot. As long as you are getting good combustion and not dumping a bunch of raw fuel on the cats, I don't really see that as a factor.

PS - you're running a heated 02 sensor, I hope?
