What components are supposed to come with the RT Cat?

I have:[list=1][*]The Cat[*]2 gaskets[*]2 bolts[*]2 headless bolts[*]6 lock washers[*]3 nuts of one size[*]2 nuts of another size[*]1 nut of even another size with some sort of washer jammed on it[*]one larger washer[/list=1]

Anyone have a list of what exactly I need to install this plus the basic install instructions. What was the consensus on heat shield facing up or down?

Thanks!

 

I didn't get the install kit... just went to Home Depot and bought 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and 4 washers... reused the stock gaskets.

Heat shield faces upwards.

 

What is the best way to clean up the gaskets? I bought this used from another .org member so trying to figure out what is needed since I got this pile of hardware. What do I need these headless bolts for?

How long should the install take at a skilled and reputable shop? (I always pay cash and work the deal out before install)

 

Sorry, I used 4 bolts, 4 nuts, 8 washers. Forgot about the other side.

Use brake cleaner to clean the gaskets.

Headless bolts? No need for them. Use the hardware I listed and you should be fine.

Install depends on if your bolts are seized up or not. Should take anywhere between 15-60 minutes. Again, this depends on your nuts....




























... and bolts of the stock cat.

 

All that comes with the Cat is the Cat, and thats it.

You buy the gaskets, bolts, washers, etc. I had to use what I had in the garage to make it work. I gave them to you when I sold you the Cat.

 

Headless bolts are the stock bolts that are on the car. They just screw into the cat (stock cat). The guy I got it from used those. Use bolts on each side of it.

 

hey Y2KevSE what size cat you get 2.5 or 3 inch since you have the Greddy Catback.

 

2.5" 3" would be an overkill on an NA car.

 

thanks for the info also I know you have the y-pipe but I was wondering if you think it is to loud to use on the highways and public roads.

 

The answer to this depends on taste/preference. I don't think my exhaust setup is loud, but that's relative.

This video is with a CAI, Stillen y pipe, RT Cat, and Stillen muffler:

... which was way louder than my current setup Stillen SC, Stillen y pipe, RT Cat, GReddy cat-back:

Thanks! How long can the bolts be? Do the 8 washers need to be lock washers?

 

Can't wait for the new video of the greddy reved up inside and out!

 

Not too long and not too short. I suggest measuring your stock bolts and go with those measurements. Nope, no need to be lock washers.

 

I should be able to get videos of my dyno runs this Sunday.

 

The one with the CAI is that with the windows down or up.

 

ditto

 

Up. Loud, huh?

 

 

I am so getting my y-pipe and RT cat. Got a Greddy and PRCAI is coming.
