Email the ExhaustGuys @ streetofdreams2004@yahoo.com

Their one this board, and their great guys to deal with. I bought my magnaflow cat-back from them as well as numerous other members on this board. I think Kasey Savage_Messiah got a high-flow cat from them as well.

On Summit Racing a 3" Universal Cat-Co Catalytic Conveter goes for about $59.

how many miles do you have on your car, jbird? you're not allowed to have a hi-flow cat if you're below a certain mileage, which is 50,000 miles i believe.

you are a littl eoff on the law Pat. if you're under I think 60k, then "technically" you can't replace the cat unless it's damaged.

so if a shop does it for you and starts to give you ****... take a hammer to the cat, boom it's damaged

actually, i think by law, you cant take off a properly functioning cat at all, no matter what the mileage is. but do you think any shop will really care? the only thing they would be worried about is if you asked to have no cat at all, thats when they can get in bigger trouble.

No such thing as a hi-flow cat, be a man, get a bullet muffler.

you get pulled over by a lot of feds? lol
if you get pulled over and you are enough of a dick to a cop to actually have him look around your car teh biggest ticket you can get is "tampering with emissions equipment"
it is a $250 fine and no points.
you woudl really have to be a tool to get your car checked over taht close anyway.

"high flow" cats are a bunch of hype with no results. get a standard 3inch cat to open up your exhaust or just ditch the cat and have soemone with hptuners(like foff667) fix teh computer so that it doesn't care.

later
