oh I think is stock cause this entire car suppost to be stock. Well, i didn't pass the emission test maybe it can be that. Also I can hear the rotory sound pretty loud were the cat is. Dose that mean anything?
When it sits there and I gas it it sound like if it want to turn off but it dosen't turn off. Sometimes it even smoke out from there dark + white spoke and sometimes it dosen't I try to gas it a few times to see if it clears out and it dose sometimes but still feels the same.
P.S. How can I stop ny Exhaust from Overheating?

Hot exhaust foiles my wallet. I've blown two mufflers in the month or so I've had the car. I guess I'll have to go get a $200+ racing beat. *sigh*

Yeah, shutup kid.
Monza sucks.
I run an apexi n1 copy off ebay. The muffler holds up fine, doesn't quiet worth a **** unless the silencer is in, but it takes the heat. For an n/a car, you shouldn't notice a difference in performance with the silencer in, and it is plenty quiet. With the silencer out it's loud as ****. My ears ring after driving on the highway. Now I wear earplugs when I drive

A good stainless steel Magnaflow works nice. You need to run a presilencer in front of it if you are running headers as it may be a little too loud. Preformance Peddlers on Ebay sells them for $120 or so.

It means that, well, your exhaust is overheating. If you unclog, or replace, the catalytic converter, it SHOULD go off. If not, start checking the rest of your exhaust system. Also, check the sensor. I beleive it is under the passenger seat? I'm wrong though, let someone else clarify on that one.
