what should it cost to replace, i'm getting a real bad rattle noise and it sounds like the cat. I"m gonna make sure nothing is loose but if it's the cat i'm gonna be pissed. Does this shit have an extended warranty?

 

Well mine is doing that cause of the header. Do you have a header? people told me its the heat shield and that so can just bend it away from where it is touching.

 

The heat shield around the cat?

 

make sure the bolts are tight, cause it could of came loose. not sure how much it would cost though it the cat was messed up. My uncle charged my friend like 100 bucks for his cat but that was on a 98 accord. so u might be looking around that price?

 

get a AM magnaflow cat and you should have some more free flowing air i think and it should only run you about 100-150

 

it is my cat


anyone know which Mangaflow cat works and does it have a spot for the o2 sensor?

 

what is the inlet size comming into the cat? I have 2.5 from cat back

 

im sure you can get a cat that is a 2.25 form the head and a 2.5 out of have a muffler shop have a pipe connector made

hope i could help some scott

 

I know our stock piping was 2.25. But what was the inlet? Was that also 2.25?


My exhaust is all butchered. I'm 2.5 from the cat to the resonator where I have a 2.25 resonator then 2.5 from that to the 2.25 inlet on my exhaust

 

CLPower, I'll buy your busted cat from you.

 

I'll trade you for your "good" cat

 

lol, naw......

 

come on, it's a good trade



those factory cats are like $700

 

clpower...i had one of those problems too after i got my resonator installed. it gave me mean ass rattling noise and a shakes. it juss happen to be my resonator wuz misplaced and was hitting one of the bolt underneath the car cuz there wasnt enough space. the shop that installed it hammered the part that hangs the resonator and the problem wuz solved. it might not be ur cat. so check it out.

 

I know, and for some reason it seems to be illegal to sell at dismantling or junk yards???? They won't sell me a stock cat, only aftermarket ones. The dealership seems to be the only place to get one . Pretty gay, that's why everytime someone totals their 3.0 CL, I try to buy their cat, just in cse I would ever need one, or in case someone else does. See if that kid out in North Carolina will get under his car to unscrew 6 bolts for you. I've tried buying it from him, but he just wants to sell his car whole.......(he flipped his 3.0 CL)....

You guys remember who I'm talkin about right....justchillin was trying to buy his whole interior.

 

I think gutting out your cat is the most expensive "do it yourself" mod ever. Just get a pipe with a flange on each side to replace your cat if you wanna go straight pipe. I remember i wanted to gut my cat, i'm so glad i never did.

 

yea, i'm all tight, I think I bottomed out on something on one of our shitty freeways. It banged the cat and fucked up the internals

 

I've thought about just doing a test pipe (straight pipe) but need to smog this year.
