I hit a rock on a highway which took out a cat. I have cleared the guts out of the pipe and mufflers, replaced the cat, but it still runs like crap. Any ideas what could still be wrong with it. Thanks for any help.

all kidding aside, I had to read the first sentence three times before I figured out you didn't hit a stone which took out a cat. I'm thinking no way. Then it sounds like you're cleaning it's guts off the pipes and undercarriage and then replaced the cat. Replaced it? Replaced it with what?? Then it hit me like, duh I should quit drinking right now.....but I won't can't help with your problem but thanks for the laugh.
