      Re: catalytic converter

      Never heard of them.

      methinks this might be a too good to be true thing here.

      say ya buy it then it starts setting off codes? stick with magnaflow or catco.

        Re: catalytic converter

        I don't see any O2 bunges in it.. So where would you put your O2 sensor(s) at?

        Theirs:


        and Magnaflow/Carsound:


        I would ask the seller first if perhaps he/she does sell them with preinstalled bunges. Otherwise you'll be making a trip to the exhaust shop to have some welded on.. which in the end could end up costing you more than it would have to just buy a quality magnaflow one from the get go.

            the stock cat doesnt even have o2 bungs welded in, why would an aftermarket one have it?

              Re: catalytic converter

              my car has the o2 bung in the s-pipe, not in the cat.
              btw, if that's what u needed, it looks like they have this too

                Wasn't sure if the newer model f-body's had them or not.. guess that's what I get for assuming.

                    Re: catalytic converter

                    a cat is a cat only difference is some wont last as long as others in my eyes but i dont use them any more. so the cheaper u can find one the better. and no it doesnt have o2 holes but welcome to the world of customs some times you just have to give it a try...

                      a magnaflow cat comes with a lifetime warrarnty, I believe, and some cats don't actually do anything and just set of SES lights.

                        that'd be decent to hollow it out so if you have visual emissions testing, you still have a cat there

                          Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
