So i have been told something different from every shop i've talked to now and am getting a little fed up...
So some shops have told me that i wont need to buy a new catalytic converter Others say they will inspect it and see And the rest tell me i will HAVE to have a new one So for anyone who has done an exhaust system if you could give me your two cents on the matter it would be really appreciated:) car is in perfect running shape, and has 90xxx miles on it... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

If you're going to put an exhaust on your car to increase exhaust flow, then you might as well take care of every component you can. You're trying to open as much as you can. From what I remember a high flow cat only opens about .7hp, like I said before, it's not much but you wanna do it right. --------------------  |
