Thanks. Yea I have one of those, enginelinkLE not really sure how to use it but it’s not showing any codes.

Oops sorry, 97

I stopped by a muffler shop today to have them help me bend my tailpipe over a bit because it was riding my shackle. He pointed at my new muffler and said oh you’re running rich. It now has a golden color with a blueish rainbow effect going on. Roughly 2 weeks old. Got me thinking if I was...

No I don’t believe so. I’m taking it back to them Tuesday and having them open it back up. I wanted to exhaust all areas first and confirm whwre it’s coming from. 90% certain it’s related to the Tcase now. Thank you I’ll run that by them and make sure they check

Mine is only under throttle. Goes away as soon as you take your foot off the gas. Gets more harsh when you really get on it, step on the gas.

I contemplated that. But I’ve read that for people moving in to California from out of state, with federal emissions vehicles, will pass smog if the catalytic converter is OE, installed at the factory. If at anytime the cat was replaced it will not pass visual inspection. But it’s also confusing...

UPDATE Let me recap what’s going on. It’s a faint rumble sound. I had some vibrations prior to getting the SYE. This is different. I noticed it right away after picking it up from the shop after having an SYE kit installed. It’s throttle dependent and will go away when you take your foot off the...

Thanks for the advice. No I’m not getting another vehicle or selling this one. I’ve put too much blood sweat and tears in to it. Also it came from Texas so it’s for the most part rust free, and gets garaged in the winter. But thanks for the tips

My mistake for leaving that out. The current cat is toast and needs to be replaced. The vehicle is currently in Indiana, registered to me, and I will be driving it to California in the next couple weeks. It passed smog last year, but it probably wouldn’t pass right now. No I am not military...

I did, if you missed my above post I came up with about 1 degree. I believe I am doing this properly? Measure the driveshaft on the tube. Remove it, measure across the yoke.

Because I’ll be a CA resident in a few weeks.

Well my vehicle has federal emissions. Which is why it’s EFN won’t match up I guess. Not a CA certified vehicle.

Yea that’s the database I used. The only other number which was right below it is VCR1049AYPBN

For you Cali jeepers with out of state vehicles, anyone else have issues matching their EFN to the converters listed on the CA catalytic converter database? The number on the sticker under the hood is VCR4.028GFEK. When I search the database for a new CAT using year,make, model and engine all...

And that’s with a 2 degree shim in place
