Poor high end torque

Post by BZOOK »

Hi all. Last Saturday the sj50 with stock 1.3 was motoring along nicely when I lost power. There was a terrible flapping noise coming from the exhaust I expect. Sounded like a card in your spokes as a kid. While limping it home the noise suddenly went away and power returned. Now the cat does rattle a lot so I expect something was blocking the exhaust pipe. I will be replacing the exhaust soon. On the drive this morning it has poor high end torque. It revs ok but does not pull. With a big highway trip tomorrow I'm now worried about maintaining top speed. I'll try and take the exhaust apart and see if I can dislodge any loose or rusty material. Given my time pressure are there any words of wisdom?
Thanks.
