Ahhhhh...just installed my new catalytic converter, no more rat-tat-tat
It's nice to have back pressure and NOT sound like Im dragging a tin can behind my car.
It was fairly easy too..only ONE trip to Napa, Im pretty happy. The bolts were all pretty accessible. Purchased a whole new pipe/cat from overnightautoparts.com for a little over 200 bucks and had to get a new 2inch od clamp from Napa that joined the end of the cat to the muffler, the stock one was so rusted it was unusable. Sealed great.
For anyone that is thinking about doing this, I recommend unhooking the pre-cat o2 sensor from the engine first, and pulling the exhaust down with the o2 sensor and wire...and then wrenching off the o2sensor.
