My catylitic converter is due for delivery today, when i get back from class i'll do it tonight... alot of people replaced theirs? How many peope had trouble with the bolts, looks likr there are springs to keep pressure on them, so they shouldn't be welded on... we'll see...

 

just have a rust remover thingy next to you, your gonna need it

 

i was lazy and didnt want to bother....just gave $10 to my exhaust guy to install it. it should be easy to install though...well i guess if you have air tools.

 

I need air tools

 

just get a torch if you have that problem

 

Step 1: buy bottle of liquid wrench, and soak the shit outa your bolts.
Step 2: wait 2 hours.
Step 3: use a breaker bar (or air tools) and pray it works..
If it doesnt work, repeat steps 1-3 as necessary...

 

what kind of cat did you get? and from what site

 

How loud and raspy dose an aftermarket cat make your exhaust tone ?

 

They don't call 'em "breaker bars" for nothing.

 

got one off of autopartswarehouse for 107.00 which is real cheap, but it matches up exactly so we'll see if it works... just finished installing it(with air tools) went quick besides one bolt stripped the head coming off, so i grinded that off.... so now my battery is unplugged... ill hook it up and take off and i guess we'll see what happens, ill keeep you guys posted

 

Well when i put my test pipe in i ahd some trouble getting the old cat off, we tried tourching that didnt help any what you need is air tools, what i used was the little hand saw and cut the bolts right off.

 

Do high flow cats for our car need an O2 sensor, or is that just the header downpipe?

 

I dont have the o2 sensor the test pipe had no housing for it so i am completly sensor less

 

Right, so does your CEL come on now? I am looking to get a high flow cat, but none that I've looked at have an o2 sensor hole. I guess my question is, is there an o2 on the cat or just the header downpipe? Cuz I thought there were both

 

Yes there is one in the cat, and yes my cel is always on

 

 

well its been in for about 300 miles and no sign of the check engine light... looks like its a successful cat. for 107.00

 

What cat did u get, is it aftermarket?

 

... and what dose it sound like if its aftermarket
