This is the result of running rich, not a bad (or missing)cat.  Idle mixture should be set to produce around 1% CO BEFORE the cat (check the Bentley for the exact number)


A bad temperature sensor or oxygen sensor could cause rich running.


Transporter Werkes in Raleigh has a good reputation.

Check to see if your CAT. has been hollowed out.
