Need a few suggestions on my project
After changing out my Main cat with a magnaflow unit and a set of flanges that i welded to it i have been thinking about the pre cats now.I see racingline has them for the 04 and up and after looking at the pictures of them i was thinking the following.Take a set of jy precats cut off the top flanges clean them up so i/we can use the factory gaskets and buy 2 steel core magnaflow cats with 2.5" in/out cut one end off the cats and weld them to the OE flanges i know this sounds like a hack job but its all about Price and reliability to me.as far as price goes the 2 steel core cats cost $40-$60 the 2.5" SS U bent pipe cost $40 and 2 new 3 bolt SS flanges for connection to the Y pipe cost $25.I know it will take a bit of time to jig this up for alignment but the cost savings over the replacements avilable is a good amount.I have been thinking about this because i had many issues with replacing the pre cats on my old 03 and i had tried both eastren and the other brand and they had alignment and gasket issues.Please feel free to give Any comments,flames,suggestions or experiences.
Thanks! |
if you feel that it would serve you best...I'd say go for it, and post pix with a final review of how you feel the project went :)
