I just received a "direct fit cat" I ordered from autozone. My question is is this a direct fit cat - It is a 12" cat with an included clamp and extension pipe. Should it be all one piect to be called "direct fit". Also flow direction is not indicated, are these meant to be installed one direction or another. Has anyone purchased Warpspeed HI-Flow 2.5" CarSound Catalytic Converter listed on E-bay for $99, are these one piece with flanges on both ends, and are they good?

 

i have a high flow cat, but mine is magnaflow. not carsound. its good. got it from warpspeed.

 

Check out Catco high-flo cats from summitracing.com =)

I would think 'direct fit' means you'd get something the exact same size and shape as a stock cat, that just bolts into place. Sounds like the one you got from Autozone might be more of a 'universal' fit, where you use that extension pipe to determine the length of the cat.

I have a Catco cat on my Probe, but it's hollowed out. Basically a cat-shaped test pipe =)

 

Carsound = Magnaflow same company.

BTW. I sell Catco, Carsound, walker, and a bunch of others

 

Did yours come with welded flanges on both ends for mounting or was it adjustible? I think I'll return autozone one and order magnaflow from Warpspeed.

 

I'll sell you a usep magnaflow/warpspeed one for $50 shippid..it willneed 2 be cut and welded on thou.

 

Thanks, but I want one with bolt on flanges.

 

so weld the flanges on.....

 

I think his point is that he doesnt wanna have to weld anything

 

any sort of write up on what im doing? i have the magnaflow high-flow cat 2''ID sitting in a box and me looking up at the cat on the car looking confused. could someone help me out with a step by step? im guessing i need these flanges that are welded onto my cat, do i buy new flanges or what?

 

guess not...

 

you sell carsound but not magnaflow, thought carsound = magnaflow

 

"a bunch of others"
Carsound is Magnaflow's parent company, so by saying carsound magnaflow is included

 

Brian's Carsound/magnaflow cat that he sells is a direct fit (flanges already on). I know...I just bought one from him.

Oh and thanks for the good service, Brian.

 

oh so you sell carflow and magnasound........cool!
