It wasn't setting any codes before I tore it down and I had just finish a 10,700 mile road trip in it. Any constructive input would be greatly appriciate. Thank you gentalmen.

None of the above its possible that a piece of substrate broke off the honeycomb and melted into place. Impacts cause these to break apart before they ultimately fail. when they fail they start blowing chunks and the honeycomb tends to mold into a large ball of material. You will hear it as it sounds like a chock full of nuts under the car. This is a reason why a lot of us have gone to headers and Hi flow cats. Only other option is to find a NOS cat and exhaust manifold or hang a used one.

But looks like a halfway decent option to paying 1200+ headers. These would be great for getting some extra oomph from that just purchased daily driver. If I had just did a stoke job or engine upgrade another 1200 is nothing.

Ya it was a father a son road trip. I bought the car from Hammer and it was a impeccable example. We then drove it 10700 miles, 31 states and 55 museums over a seven and a half week period during the summer of 2009. Any where my father wanted to go I took him. It was a incredible jurney in a amazing car and every mile produce unforgettable memories.

And thank you GOLDCYLON for the insight on the catalytic converters

Father and son trips are great. I drove my car from Houston in 2006 when I picked it up after my last tour in the box in Al Qayarrah. I had not seen my father for 16 months so it was a great ride back all the way back to Arizona except for the weather in Van Horn Texas (Heavy Snow). I ended up returning the ride along favor after my father bought his 96 CE from Tennesse. We had such a good time with the Z!

I apologize for my childish rants. Sometimes I just allow things to go too far rather than let them go.

If a mod wants to clean it up, that would be great.

Again, I hope anyone who spends their hard earned money on a set of these truly gets a quality product in return, I sincerely do.

Merry Christmas, and Happy new year to all of you.

Bah, don't worry about it.

Our Cyplotic Moderator pal, old "Goldie", has a titanium alloyed depleted uranium exoskeleton.
He can can bring it, and he can take it.
Ain't that right, Goldie?

You are among Brothers here, never forget that.
We can agree to disagree and still be family.

A Merry Christmas to your and yours!
