Go slow over them like you are supposed to. I have taken mine over speed bumps and it is fine.

Agreed. Plus...I put them up here to help people...I don't care about getting a profit. If someone wants to tell them...you can...but I dont care. Its not going to change anything either way.Originally Posted by 01GTP

Question (probably stupid). The portion of the DP, where the CAT converter is supposed to go, is that piece of pipe just slipped in? or did you weld it? looks like there about 3" of coverage on either end that might keep is secure. And if I were to install a CAT, could it be slipped in? looking at 3" CATs online.
Thanks

I don't see why you couldn't put a slip fit 3" converter in there...then have it welded or clamp it.

why in gods name do you want a 3" cat?

Some people ARE tree huggers?

The downpipe is 3" so thats what fits...
That or its easier to just put the cat on and leave it there rather than worry about a $1000 fine and having to put one back on every two years for an e-test.
In Ontario, there are people who drive around and inspect cars they suspect of having missing pieces like a cat or EGR valve. They do hand out tickets that are valid as the law does state removing emissions equipment is illegal.

Exactly!, why battle with modding a 2.5, or whatever, size inverter when a 3" will probably just slide right in.
Thanks guys.

here's a fitting question amidst the topic: is a high flow cat beneficial over the stock one?

Over stock...yes. Will it net you any more gains? No. Will it sound louder than stock? Yes...you won't notice it though because you just put headers on your car...that'll make it sound much better anywhoBTW...when are you buying them so we can put them on
02-01-2010
I'll be getting them as soon as we can average >50*. I was just wondering, so for the 60 bucks that i could put towards buying a PCM, should someone get the magnaflow cat? If just for sound, pfffft, who cares.Over stock...yes. Will it net you any more gains? No. Will it sound louder than stock?

Unless your car wants to run the cat diagnostic or your state laws means you have to have one.

MO requires cats. And i'm not gonna push my luck, cops have a bad habit of tailing me lately
02-02-2010
i ran a 2.5" high flow cat on my car if that makes any difference to anyone. id reduce it before the cat to keep the volume down.
02-02-2010
ZR1Vette09 Keep me updated if you purchase a CAT..I have to look for one aswell if I plan on getting this set-up, which will most likely happen.
02-02-2010
Just because they REQUIRE them...don't mean shiz. I got pulled over with my catback OFF the car...nothingHe asked me why my windows were too dark
Plus, I've got a couple places if your that worried about passing inspection.

What cop has ever looked for a catalyst system on a car? Lower your car and they can't see under it ;-P. I live in MO and I figure I've got 2 years to worry about it.

i wouldn't mind it being a little louder, especially since i'm doing no exhaust work for sound. Guess i'll just go ahead with the cat too... Collosus i'm not buying anything for another month. Waiting for the weather to warm up.

Man...then you need to bring that 'Bird to some of the local KCPMC meets...check out the site man...
