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.

Re: Z06 Cats
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.

Re: Z06 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...

Re: Z06 Cats
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

Re: Z06 Cats
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:
I am not selling the corsa or ditching it completely yet, I want to hear how this set-up sounds

Re: Z06 Cats
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. |

Re: Z06 Cats
mike I have pictures you sent me. I will probable switch to Z06 cats, but want to get my exhaust fitted first
