Default Z06 Cats

Several have mentioned they are using Z06 cats with their header setup. Can someone post a photo or two of how that installation looks. I happen to have a set sitting here and am contemplating doing the install.

I did this with a set of modified Stainless Works headers. They worked great.

Will you be doing your own exhaust work? If not, some places won't install used cats.

As I understand it, they are much more heavy duty and not as fragile as aftermarket cats. Flow is supposedly great. I want to see how they were cut and welded in place. I have a guy that does excellent welding. Not my forte...

I was looking at this today. With Watson headers it will be rather tight. If I can find a place to weld some ends to my C6Z06 cats then I think Have a way to make them fit

I emailed Marc Haibeck as I had a couple questions about that myself.. I specifically asked the ifference between the Z06 Cats and the Magnaflow 59959 cats (which I currently have)

here is what he said:
Quote:
The Magnaflow metallic cats probably flow as well or maybe a little better than the ceramic Z06 cats. I would imagine that the Z06 cats would perform better on an emissions test.
I am debating the Z06 cats, but there is much more work to get them installed. my Magnaflow cats are on the car, I know they fit and I will have less mods to make when I install my LT4 catback.

I am not selling the corsa or ditching it completely yet, I want to hear how this set-up sounds

I used 3" split pipe clamp on connections from the SW performance connect kit. The LS7 cats were slightly angled inboard from full length Watson headers to fit the tunnel. They would fit better on the short OBX headers, but They ran great and had no unburned hydrocarbon smell or any issues with burning the floorboards. I was able to fit them withing the confines of the factory heat shielding (if just barely).

I lost all the photobucket pics- give me time to redo that.
