EviLZ28, I do not have cats, but what about the muffler? Could I have clogged it up?

His sig lists no cat, but that is a good thought. Some kind of exhaust restriction sure would hurt power output.

I dont think anitfreeze would clog up a Borla, or any muffler. But who knows, maybe unhook the intermediate pipe and see if she feels like it has more power. I would do a compression check as mentioned before. Do you know what caused the head gasket to blow in the first place?
