Which Catalytic converters?
I am looking for recommendations based on cost, performance and ease of installation. I have Maximiser headers and a 3" MagnaFlow catback.

Re: Which Catalytic converters?
Here is an example of 3" Magnaflow MPE-59959 7.75" length cats connected to a 2.5" Corsa system using Stainless Works SS transitions http://www.stainlessworks.net/cart/p...oducts_id=1295

Re: Which Catalytic converters?
Damn, Phil, SO CLEAN! Looking great!
Depends what you want the catalytic converters for. Pass Smog Sniffer? Get the biggest ones you can. Decrease the gas exhaust smell? I agree with Bullet cats as Phil shows. I got metallic foil (not ceramic substrate). My cats are the lowest part of the underside and get hit/dented. I don't want ceramic substrate breaking off and getting sucked back into the engine. Performance? No cats. Sound? You'll have to hear different set-ups. I had a muffler guy weld in (2) flanges in my exhaust each side. I can run bullet cats, monster cats, or straight pipes.

I don't need them for emissions tests anymore, I just want to keep the smell down. Thanks for the info about metallic substrate. Looks like I'll go with MagnaFlow.
Thanks David |
