I kind of figured the power gains would be minimal if any, I was mainly looking for a cheap way to test the clogged cat theory.
Is it just me or does this dohc v8 seem way underpowered considering the other rockers toyota was building at that time? You'd think it would make 300 hp very easily (oh right, turbos).
I definitely can't complain about how smooth it is and the exhaust note is nice.

I think these cars and all cars lose power over their lifespan----im gonna make an assumption and say your engine probably has very high mileage.

What could be the factor on not seeing noticeable power gains from no cats and bigger exhausts compared to a 4 cyl Honda? I own a Honda and I can tell the difference and there's even dyno sheets online where even a 3" exhaust on an NA and Turbo motor makes the most power, so what's wrong with the SC400 that seems to not gain much power.

I belive my cat just died. Had a cat CEL that would turn on and off for a few weeks, now the CEL just remains on.
My mechanic told me replacing it would be pretty expensive. What are my options?
- Un-clog the cat? I dont even know if that doable.
- Aftermarket cat?
- Used cat?
- New cat?
- Ive also been contemplating doing a full exhaust. Would this be a good time to do it? (was gonna wait till the summer to do it, but if fixing the cat is gonna cost me half the price of a new set-up I might as well do it now).

I have not tried this myself so please to some research before actually dsoing it---there may be a reason not to that im not aware of

u know i hear quite a bit of people complaining about the lack of power on the stock v8-----either you guys are speed demons that are used to owning super fast high powered cars---or something is wrong with your engines-----need tune up or whatever----because my car has plenty of power------it is said to havbe 250 hp and i believe every word of it----im pleased with my engine completely------i really have no desire at this point to go turbo or supercharged---at one point i was but not anymore.
