Have you put a known mechanical oil pressure gauge on that engine? Generally speaking, I am worried for that bottom end. As for the bang, I donno what to suggest. If the cat substrate blew out so totally, I would be surprised the car got louder, it would have had to stop somewhere and if it is robbing power, that means blockage. Louder implies less blockage. I wonder if a baffle went in the muffler. Either way, the loss of power would be indicative of a lack of controlled exhaust flow. |
