I ventured out into the rain to look at the rabbit again after finally discovering that the line I was looking at was a line for hooking up exhaust analysis gear. I plugged it and drove around. Still no power. Reving the engine with my hand over the exhaust. Weak stream of exhaust coming out the back. I now assume that some debris suddenly clogged the exhaust system which caused enough back pressure to blow the old plug off.My muffler has a couple of holes in it. Could something internal in the muffler cause the clog? Or is the clog farther up in the cat? I glanced under the car and saw the cat. It's a cute little thing. I bet it will be a bear to remove. Or are the bolts easy to get a cutoff wheel on? I've been spendin great gobs of money on finishing my 66 beetle resto so I don't want to spend unneccesary money on this. If the cat needs replacing I'll probbably do it myself . I'll farm out the muffler. Any thoughts on trouble shooting this and the job of repairing it. Or could other things be going on? Thanks. Shane
