Ok, I know I have a bad alternator. And my the symptoms of my cars behavior, slow as a civic dx, rough idle, and hesitation. My NX has 157k and I changed the spark plugs, cap, rotor, and fuel filter. The new alternator and new 02 sensor are supposed to arrive at my house on wed or thurs. but i just started my car and i listened to my exhaust and it sounds like i have my exhaust done and man does it stink!!! is this a sign that maybe something is wrong with my cat? I plan on getting a new muffler so that will be replaced anyways, should i invest in a new cat and what kind should i get?

The smell is sometimes attributed to a cat bout to die. But if you are working on the exhaust and have an old car you might as well get a new cat. Get a Random Technology Cat. Its a pretty high flow one, and WAYYYY cheaper than a stock one.

I can will e-mail you a site I was looking at when I thought my cat was clogged, and I wanted a Random cat-it's 179$+shipping. BTW, I followed the EGR/BPT cleaning advice and changed the O2 sensor, and that problem with the funky smell has largely dissipated, and hasn't returned. However, the Random cat is free HP anyway, so, why not?

WTF!!!! Vegita, I tried sending you a link to that site, but I keep getting a return message that "Mail undeliverable because said user does not have a Yahoo mail account"....Anyway, the website is lightningmotorsports.com/ Look under their Random section, and the Sentra application is about 1/2 way dowm the page. Good Luck!!
