Has anyone bought a Hi flow cat off ebay??
Just wondering if they're total garbage... My stock cat kicked the bucket... it fried my o2 sensor... I was thinking of an ebay one and I could drill it and insert a fresh o2 sensor...
thanks for the help,
M

People on here have done it, search and you'll find lots of info about cats and o2 sensors. I'm planning to get a highflow and drilling in a o2 sensor after I put my headers and exhaust on

I am not sure if it will fit, but I have a Random Tech high flow cat that I used on my 99 Accord for a few months that I'm selling. I know the engine is the same but I'm not sure about the exhaust. PM if anyone wants it.

Sounds like the heat shield.

^^ lol at you noobs
the o2 bung is what you call the round pieces of metal that the oxygen sensors screw into.
you can just buy the bung, drill a hole in the high flow cat, and weld it on so that it will support the 2nd bank o2 sensors which all obd2 cars have

this is a 2.x thread basically.. if any of you 3.0's are looking into a test pipe or hi flow cat, dunno if its a good idea. Wilp was pretty unhappy w/ his car's low end with a test pipe on..

I just put F23 in my mods cuz its a 2.2CL with a newer engine,. I didn't swap it in the previous owner did,.. believe me I know how much the guy spent on the motor and a few hundreds more would have gotten him an H22... as far as my name being acura TL 2nr,. it's just an old name bcuz my dad had a 01' TL a while back,. traded it in for a Lexus
