i have the hooker super comp LTs and the mufflex y pipe, and the reducer, that ends past the tranny, under the driveshaft, i hooked up my hi flow Random Tech cat...err tried to, and it hit the driveshaft and undercarriage, the only way i could hook it up was at a 45* angle kinda sideways and i ripped off my stock cat back for now.
is it bad to mount the cat like this?
i think i may have a cooling system leak (block, head, gasket, etc) cuz i watched my exhaust and it had white smoke NOT just a puff at start up, but steady, and it was dripping fluid (tasted it, no flavor *not gas* i dont think) so i think it is water (im not runnin antifreeze).
can water collect in the cat due to its position and ruin it?

help!
thanks
