what is your experiences with exhaust/cat restrictions?

I did the vacuum test and my vacuum readings were perfect at 2000 rpm it stayed right around 20 inches.

My motor stumbles to the point it shakes the whole car at any RPM and doesn't have snappy throttle response like my excellent running 97 camaro 3.8.

even when you rev it up in neutral the motor is sluggish responding, makes totally different sound, even the exhaust has a much mellower tone then the raspy sound my camaro makes.

Can a converter plug and still allow enough flow to get a good vacuum reading and still choke the motor?

Just an update this violent vibration was being caused by the wrong flywheel. I replaced it and the car purrs like a kitten and its intake and exhaust sounds match my 97 3,8 camaro. Made a world of difference.

What vehicle/engine are you posting about, and comparing to your 97 3.8L Camaro?
