What do you think of this custom setup?

[shenanigans]

stock catback is 2.25 right?

alright... plan is.


unhook the catback at the factory clamp, underneath the little "crossmember"

then cut the exhaust just before the CAT.

-Then run a 3 in. pipe, to a 2.25 reduced pipe.
-Then get 2.25 J-bend pipe, cut that pipe. So I can later cut it reverse it 180 degrees and recconect it.
-then have it clamp into the factory clamp.


-Already have a 3 in. pipe.
-2.25 J bend from (Jegs Part # 289-42321 )
-3"-2.25" reducer, with O2 bung (Jegs part # 555-30011 )


Idea behind this is... I replace the CAT, and go form the y-pipe to the I-pipe, with pretty much a mandrel bent 2.25 pipe with an 02 bung. I will keep my stocker 02 in there for now, but when i eventually (or borrow) a wideband, I will hook it up into that bung.

Another question I do have, is how hard and what is the cost of putting in an o2 Bung?(if I decide to not get a bung, and get one later on.)


look for cost of parts is...
Pair of 3"-2.25" with o2 bungs $36.99
2.25" J-bend is $13.99

Pair of 3"-2.25" withOUT 02 bungs is $19.99


Idea in the end is I want to put the cat back on, its just undoing 2 clamps, and putting one piece back in, not too much work.


Thoughts? opinions?

Might even consider this instead of the J-bend...

U-bend, 2.25 in $24

or could be easiest to do a dual 90* bends...

This way might be the easiest and not so expensive.

Forgive our local post whore. Eric, if you want i have the 3" pipe, 3" cutout, 2.5 reducer, and 2.25 reducer welded together on the back porch. If you wanna look at it and maybe use it to see how things fit your welcome too but you cant have it cause its going in my car. Also why dont you just program out the second O2 Sensor instead of bothering welding a bung in?

I know I know... my posts are rediculous. I will admit they get a little "loopier" when I am on my painkiller posting sprees... my drunk ones aren't so bad, but the pain killer ones just get goofy.

I'll look at what ya got [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]


I plan to program post cat o2 bung... but plans for the future of a wideband... Ryan that tunes lt1s has one an may get to use it some. Figure if I am messing with it, its the best place to do it and, if I wnat the option of going back to stock, easily done [img]smile.gif[/img]

so you just want to be able to pop the cat in and out, right? if you clamp it you have to be extra careful not to clamp it to hard and it get stuck on there becuz it indents the metal.

why dont you just stick a cut out infront of the cat?

don't want that, I can gurantee won't work great that way...

I want a nice clean through pipe, not just a cutout on the y-pipe. I feel it will work better.

I'll just figure it out.
