thats a good idea. i can drive it around and wait till it heats up and check underneath but anything specific i should test or try out to figure out wat i should do. like if the whole cat is hot wat am i to check, if sumthin else is hotter? im gonna run the car and see if anything heats up red , but other than that do u think wrapping it with some heat barrier will fix the problem from wat i described?
