Does E85 clog cats?
Hey guys, looked for this in search bar and couldn’t find anything so I wanted to ask if this is true with our cars I have a 2017 SS on E85. Ive heard people with other cars like mustangs and hellcats claimning that their cats clogged up because of E85. Seems odd to me but rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for the help.

No. E85 generates less emissions than gasoline. I haven't cleaned my tailpipes since switching.

E85 will burn cleaner than gas. Not sure why your seeing others say that, don't believe everything you read or hear.
Can't wait until I get mine switched over to E85 |

They must ran high ZDDP oil or bad tune. Injectors? Yes. But if you switch to 93 once a while then thats not a problem at all.

GM has factory cats on factory flex fuel trucks.

The problem with E85 is that all of the US corn is completely infested with glyphosate and other manmade chemicals that do not break down biologically and they are proven to not only kill us over time (but it's so convenient so who gives a shit), they slowly rot the emission systems of automobiles. But wait.. I won't own this car in 5-7 years but I will still have this body.
