  • help with dynomax 3" cat back

    I'm now looking at getting the dynomax 3" catback for 98-02 f-bodies. Currently my exhaust is stock, so beside the kit, what will I need to be able to put this kit on my car? How will I connect the I-Pipe to my CAT? Will I have to replace my cat, or is there a way for me to connect to my current one? Technically my cat isn't old enough for me to legally replace it yet. Please Help. :rolleyes:

    are you taking it to an exhaust shop to be put on?

    if so, they have a machine used to sleeve the pipeing so that it will fit snug.

      Or you could order a custom S pipe from jegs or jcwhitney. The I pipe doesn't come with it.

        I was hoping not to have to take it to a shop since the kit come with all the clamps so no welding is needed. I figured if the clamps didn't work I'd have it all welded later on down the road. I noticed that the current I-pipe is connected to the cat via a flang type link, not a slip over. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the dynomax 3" kit I-pipe uses a slip over type mount of 2.75". Anyone else know what I'll need to do to connect it? Do I have it directly welded to the cat, or do I use an adaptor if I can find one for those sizes?

          I was also looking at the same thing, but you can do it all for about the same amount installed by a shop for the price you would pay for just the dynomax 3" system. I live in miami where its expensive and I was quoted $100 and $125 for the install which I think is resonable for here, and Im opting for the $125 cause the guy is well known to do alot of nice work so whats another 25 dollars for quality. with tips and all it should be roughly $400 dollars.
          All the part numbers are in another post called "part numbers for dynomax exhaust" check it out.
