And the flow through the CAT during EOC would be nil since the engine is off. Therefore much of the CAT's cooling that Sentra has observed must be from external cool air, not air flowing through the CAT. Strategies for insulation would slow that cooling rate.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
