so how hard would it be to put a hi flow magnaflow cat before this? would it bolt up or would there be problems somehwere

rickhigginshtbr · 05-08-2008, 11:11 PM

the $50 ones on ebay need to be welded up, don't know if they make a bolt on one for our cars or not.

cardude007617 · 06-09-2008, 11:05 AM

ok so final thoughts before i go and buy this thing tonight...... get it or hell no. im not looking for something that'll drive me nuts with drone (i drive 10 miles to work each way, 3 to school, and soon ~115 miles back and forth to college).
any last thoughts? thanks

pgagt2002 · 06-09-2008, 11:37 AM

definately get it. It will be way quieter than you think and will still give you a roar when the pedal hits the floor.

cardude007617 · 06-09-2008, 03:38 PM

aight well i ordered one with the help of boost21's -$25 code. we shall see.

any ideas how long it takes to install this thing?

rickhigginshtbr · 06-09-2008, 04:25 PM

an hour or two if you've done it before and don't have to weld anything.

boost21 · 06-09-2008, 05:02 PM

hardest part for me was getting a stuck bolt out of the cat flange, get a sawsall and you'll be good

cardude007617 · 06-09-2008, 06:48 PM

so would it be easier to put on a new cat at the same time?

YALEROYNOT · 06-09-2008, 11:49 PM

cardude007617 so would it be easier to put on a new cat at the same time?

yes it will make it a lot easier.

here is where I got my magnaflow cat and down pipe.

www.rsautoparts.com

cardude007617 · 06-10-2008, 09:46 AM

i dont want to go thru the trouble (from what iv heard) to change the down pipe, whats a good part number to use for a hi flo cat, there are a couple people seem to use and from what iv gathered it's these two:
1. 94106
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...m380031569434&
2. 53006
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...3756.m20.l1116

so which is better for this application? price is basically the same...

Thats why you let a shop do it, thats what they are there for/get paid, to do

cardude007617 · 06-10-2008, 11:58 AM

i know jake... what i MEANT was i dont want to be paying them for something that they will have to **** around with for too long.

question though- are zzp's downpipes, or anybody else's for that matter 2.5in all the way up to the headers? or will some form of adapter have to be made or etc... and should i get some gaskets (going from zzp it sounds like u need em) ??

YALEROYNOT · 06-10-2008, 08:48 PM

those two are just the cat if you go with this cat from www.rsautoparts.com (<click on link ) thats where I got mine and it is the cat and the down pipe all welded up ready to bolt in. and has a 2.5" down pipe all the way to the exhaust manifold. this together with the pacesetter exhaust system will give you 2.5 from the motor thru the mufflers. all bolt in no welding required do it your self and save some cash.

cardude007617 · 06-10-2008, 08:54 PM

what size is the pipe coming off the headers? theres no need for an adapter of some sorts is there to go from my stock headers to the aftermarket 2.5in down pipe is there? and do i need any new gaskets?

no the stock is 2.5" flange just need to get a gasket from an auto parts store ( $6 ) call the guys at rolling start and they will help you out with what you need. they also sell the borla exhaust system. If you are looking to spend $800 + on you exhaust

cardude007617 · 06-10-2008, 09:03 PM

whatever, i ordered it so we'll see. can u maybe get me a link to that gasket i need? i went on autozone.com and i think i found it but still:

cardude007617 · 06-22-2008, 12:30 AM

well all my stuff came in (that down pipe and pacesetter exhaust) and as far as i can see, i dont see any gaskets included. so which ones do i need?

Elderas · 06-22-2008, 02:36 PM

I have one installed on my car. had a shop do it for 150 dollars with all the gaskets and welding in a new cat.

they also put in a fatter downpipe

Id sudgest going that route.

i can only assume you'll have nothing but problems otherwise
