    Bottomed the Zed out big time the roads around Redland Bay are pretty crap just moved out here and don't really know the roads well, so funny noise coming from exhaust but the main thing I noticed is wire hanging down from pipes and the Zed is running like a pig and lost power. Advice Please!

    First thing is get her up in the air and have a look

    With a bit of luck maybe you have only squashed some of the exhaust system, but also possible that you hit the transmission sump or something else. Get it checked out!

    Sounds like you broke one of the cat temp sensors if you have a wire hangin

    most likely cat temp sensor

    the o2 sensors are much to high to be hit on the road.

    i reckon...

    he's shattered one of his cats. This stops one of your turbos from spooling and reduces power... i know, one of my cats internals rotated and blocked off the exhaust, which sounded 'fizzy' and i lost half of my boost! :wacko:

    Zed fixed

    Took the Zed down to Right Price Exhaust moss street great bunch of guys had her up on the hoist within no time, they showed me the cat heat sensors had been knocked off. As for the noise, exhaust pipe had come apart from muffler housing and metal bracket mount had broken also a rubber hook missing. They fixed the hole lot replaced parts as required and did some welding came to $37.80 absolutely rapped.:thumbsup:

    Bluez, I saw a black Zed with a hugh gauge sitting on the right side of the dash maybe that was you, if it was, what sought of gauge is that cause I saw it before i saw the Zed. Bloody Huge!

    cat temp sensors?

    hrm, I had cats installed not long ago, didn't have anything but pipe there before and I'm pretty sure I've got no wires running to them now. I guess I should look into it.
