Tonight me and cody were going about 120mph at 4100rpm and after slowing down I noticed spark coming out of the tailpipe so we pulled over all we could figure is that it was crap cleaning out of my Catylitic converter. If anyone else has some idea tell me the engine sounds good and everthing checks out ok. Im hoping this might have helped performance wise by cleaning out some of the crap.

I hope that it was not glow plug peices or something like that. Do diesel motors utilize catalytic converters? Or perhaps it was just crap in the exhaust that was extremely hot. The car continues to run fine still? 8O

Same thing happened with the rabbit I want to buy. The guy hammered on the gas and a red spark flew out.
