hey guys, im tired of the extremely ricey sounds my car is making with the test pipe on there so i need to find an actual cat. does anyone know where i can find a carsound cat (or any other) that is a direct bolt on and not a universal? all the carsound cats ive found are universal ones and i dont wanna do it like that.

thanks in advance guys. i know someone on here can help me out.

you can go to any muffler shop and have a new cat installed for like, $150... OEM or aftermarket oem replacement cats these days aren't really as restrictive as people seem to think... def. nowhere near where they used to be, like ten years ago.

The "high flow" cat thing just seems like another one of those products you'll spend more money on that for what you really get... I've never really seen one actually produce any gains over a stock cat... at least not worth spending the extra dough

$150?

#*&$ THAT! lol. i can do it in 10 minutes and i supply the parts. i just need to find a cat that i can bolt up to my exhaust and not a universal one. i have a 2.5 inch catback on there with a header. im pretty sure the stock cat piping is pretty small, thats why i wanted an aftermarket one.

i dunno how much you're planning on spending... but uh... trust me, you're gonna spend about $150 on an aftermarket "high-flow" cat...

yeah I see that Kteller has them for less than $150... but you still have to have flanges welded onto it to make those carsound cats bolt on... so after buying flanges and welding work, you're spending about $150 on it anyway... and you still have to install it yourself.

There's a muffler shop near me that'll do your cat for the cost of the part plus like $30.
