CAT vs. Compression???
I posted not too long ago about a major power loss. After a compression check (well, if you can call it that), I found very little compression. But I also found out that my CAT is bad. Maybe this back-pressure could cause the bad compression? Please help. I have duals coming tomorrow........

Take the damn cats off!!! RX-7s have a very restrictive exhaust. You can get a very noticable power increase if you run straight pipe....plus you can shoot some pretty big flames, when you rev up to high rpms. Just get a hook up on your expection. CATs suck!!!

had the same problems.....
first change the plugs and wires
fix/change the timing
gut the cats
change the oil and coolant
while the compression is only in the high 80's motor pulls strong and the glowing cats and major backfiring went away
