Hi my installer just called and said that there is junk inside one of the cats as if it is disintigrating.
What do I do?

 

Where did u buy it?

 

Direct From kline

 

Hi,

Since Kline is on Europe time I try to help. Do you have a picture? It is likely a residue from manufacturing. If so it will burn off. they do inspect everything before shipping out.

Feel free to call me if I can help out more.

 

Hi,
Could be I have pics, I will send them to you direct in a minute

 

Here are some pics. The last one is the good one

 

The residue consists of metal particles and a bit of brown stuff, almost like brown sugar.

 

It does look the same when you look through them into a light

 

I am no expert, but I would not expect to see that much crap come out of a new Cat. I would be dissapointed if that is the quality expected? All that "STUFF" has to end up somewhere after installed...

Good luck!
DC

 

You have to love these forums, SamboTT graciously helped me out and reassured me that all is ok. Well hear from Felix somewhere in the wee hours of the morning.
The porsche mechanic said he feels uncomfortable about blowing out the residue but as SamboTT said, you have a heck of a lot of air passing through there at very high Temps so a little air passing through to clean it is no big deal.

 

your cats are integral to the muffler with this system right?

 

No they are separate and bolted on

 

Actually your cats can help destroy a muffler if they grenade.

I think Kline had to make a second attempt at Cats, hence their price increase.

 

Care to explain? The tech said the same thing. No mention of price increase to me and I bought it 2 weeks ago.
So tomorrow am the car is at the dealer and I know Kline is good for the parts, but what if the 500$ I pay on the install has to be redone. What then?

 

Did my research never heard anything bad. Care to reference that?
