And if you have a problem with your main cat making that noise then you probably have a problem with your fuel system as well. 2000 Contour 2.5L ATX (Medium Steel Blue) Items for Sale SVT Indiglo Guages (NEW) Traction Control/Rear Defrost Switch (NEW) V6 Speedometer/Guage Cluster w/ Tach (51k miles)

If not, somethings loose. "My Name is Richard.

Its to prevent grass fires.. or something like that. I just took it to a muffler shop and they popped it off for me.. They told me it was pointless to keep it on.
