My FC
Well I recently took off the exhaust on my fc and ever since I ran it straight off my cat it feels like my clutch has been slippin, I'll have my car in gear and when I gas it my rpms go up and my car dosen't pull like a it used to. Anyone have any ideas on what it can be? I was thinkin I need a new clutch or my cat is bad.

uhh put back the exhaust and see what it does. if you do something and it doesn't feel right, starting putting stuff back. or cat could be clogged or ecu needs to be regrounded or you need a clutch.

Thats what my local tire shop told me. So they sold me these special tires that dump ALL of their air every night! Same thing with my oil cooler lines!!

don't forget to check the flux capacitors as well... it might need replacements. pepboys, kragen, autozone, or NAPA will have them in stock.
