Message	I just got off the phone with the Nissan Dealership, I had brought my Spec V in for a clicking/ clacking noise when accelerating. I have recently removed my headers and CAI, selling my car to buy a house. Anyway, the dealership noticed that I used to have a CAI and said they are waiting on confirmation from NISSAN but they suspect that the CAI was causing engine to run rich which will cause the catalytic converter to break down and debris would be loose in the "cat". They said that whe I let of the gas after accelerating the exhaust back pressure is sucking the debris back into the engine. They are still waiting on the call back from NISSAN to confirm what they should do, they said if they take off the catalytic converter and find loose materials they will have to pull off the intake manifold and run a compression test. The made it a point for me to know that a Cold Air Intake is not a Nissan part, hence no warranty. My car only has 10,200 miles on it. Could what they are saying be true? Any advice? Please Help.
