List members: After cleaning out all the broken bits pieces from my plugged up catalytic converter and muffler/tail piece and readjusting the idle / timing., My 83.5 digijet Wasserboxer runs better than ever, EXCEPT for a reduction in MPG (From 18mpg to 15 mpg) and a over rich stench at all speeds/loads. The sound with a clear pipe is louder and hollow and I will be replacing the Cat before it is smogged in the spring. My Oxy sensor indicator light says it is OK. Got any Ideas?
