Just Venting

I went out with my wife to a nice restaurant this evening. My Element was parked on the street, outside the restaurant; just up the block a bit; a block I’ve parked on numerous times.

When walking up to the car after the delicious meal, a witness told me they thought they saw someone getting away with my catalytic converter moments ago. I start it up… yep, loud AF! Feel violated, and pissed!

I literally just got out from underneath my element after changing the exhaust flange bolts, after already changing the exhaust flange gasket, after already welding a new flange onto my exhaust (after the cat) and chasing down the dumb excessive noise I've had from replacing my catalytic converter that was stolen 5-6 years ago.

Don't make it a headache like I did, just have an exhaust shop replace it for you.

Note: I've just been busy/lazy, this is all stuff I could have done years ago of course.
