1. Why did you remove the CAT?

2. What muffler did you install?

Hi kcvolvo,
With a bad cat (or without the cat) I can understand a high mileage car smoking slightly. Replacing the cat will help. I imagine switching to a thicker viscosity oil will help eliminate some of the smoking as well. (could be a sign of worn piston rings).
