What I feel sorry for, BriGuyMax and dmbmaxima88, is your position that if people don't think the way you do, they're wrong (i.e., lack desire, lack motivation, haven't grown up yet, etc.). I believe that's the definition of bigotry.
Wanna be my friend, Steve?

You just have to be willing to spend some time to learn. Sometimes you make mistakes, but thats why you have a buddy help ya. All you need is a cheap socket set from Home depot, universal joint, and a breaker bar and you have most of the tools you need.
Some people dont like to get their hands dirty or some people's time is worth more than doing it themself. Its all a matter of preference.

PS: You mentioned some of the reasons why an individual might not want to do the work themselves. Believe me, there are others.

Precisely, MAX2000JP. And you didn't find it necessary to cast a single aspersion in your reply. My hat's off to you.

I wrote to cattman a few days ago, and have not gotten a reply yet. My flex section is starting to come apartWhats worse with my ypipe is that it doesnt fit well. It rubs on the metal bar that supports the engine. I am really dissatisfied with this product.

Keep e-mailing him, skeelo34. He will respond. And if your Y-pipe is starting to come apart, I'd suggest you remove it immediately and replace it with your OEM Y-pipe.

i rather have a mechanic do most of my work.. not because of laziness but because i have no time. on the issue of the flex section, the newer design should be better. so if it is i would just get one even if my original was not broken, and i would be willing to pay for it..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...interesting thread.
I've got a Cattman on order and I'm just waiting for it to get in. I'm going to call them and find out if the flex section is a newer, improved one, or if it's the same old design that so many of you have had problems with.
I don't care if I was sent a new flex section. If they're going bad what's the point of putting a new one in if it's going to go bad, too? The last count I read was 14 out of 18 in the poll had problems with their flex. That's about 78%!!!!!!!!
I have mixed feelings about Cattman paying to have the flex section inspected even if the customer hasn't had any symptoms of it going bad. First of all, doesn't a car company that makes a recall pay to have the bad part inspected/repaired for free regardless of whether or not the customer notices anything? And you can't expect people to inspect it themselves, although it's not that hard. I don't think installing stereos is that hard, but if I purchased a bad one I don't think it would be my responsibility to take it apart to see if it has a problem.

Cattman just started putting lined flex sections into his pipes recently didn't he? I haven't had a chance to lift my car since this discussion started, but I might check it out tomorrow. I didn't think I even had a lined flex section. I bought my pipe from Cattman around the beginning of this year.
