I'm getting the high-flow cat
http://www.custommaxima.com/product/...r/Default.aspx

But would it be better to get the cat-back with it

or the headers?

Either way, I'll be getting all 3 within the month. Which would be the better way to start on an 01 Max?

 

high flow cat = waste of money. unless yours is clogged, save your money for something else

 

out of those 3 i would have to say headers. you will see the most difference with headers than the catback or CC

 

What about headers and then cat-back? I'll probably use the stock muffler though

 

headers are a major PITA to install, why not just get a y pipe. you will lose a few HP, but save a bunch of money and time on the install.

 

i think you should just give the money to me

Headers -> Cat Back -> Hi flo

 

doesnt matter if your going to get all of them in this month... spend it on something you like... best way to spend it

 

Screw all this stuff. Get a mail order bride.

 

This.

OP, take a step back. It reads like you're getting a high-flow cat as your #1 purchase, and are trying to decide what else to get. Which doesn't make any sense, unless your cat is clogged.

If you're getting headers, you're going to want a better cat-back than OEM anyway. So by that reasoning, you can get your cat-back first, and headers second.

But if you're getting them all eventually, then do it at the same time, save on installation costs and headache.

A mail-order bride for only $400? Maybe if she's from Mississippi, but then you've got all the added dental expenses. Where are you mail-ordering your women from these days?

 

BBK upgrade? Altough 16" won't fit, 17" will clear.

 

Put it on a gas card.

 

i'll sell you my y...

you can come to salt lake and buy me drinks with the rest

 

By 2 good tires. Might just be me, but it makes a world of difference from the cheap ones that were on there before.

This looks a good start

 

Good to know, should ever I use up the one I have now. Bookmarked.


(Occasionally crude guy-humor. Good for a laugh. Bad for the marriage.)

 

+1, especially the direction we seem to be going again...

 

why would you ever put your money on a gas card and lock it up. Considering "the direction we seem to be going" you would be much better off keeping it liquid in a savings or checking account

 

If I had a 01 I would get the cash for the headers and the cat -back exhaust it aint that much cash for both I wish it was a combo like that for 03's but I might be saving for the Cattmans.

 

while on topic i notice someone said unless your cat is clogged a hi flow cat is useless ....2 questions...first is why is it useless? 2nd is how can you tell if youre cat is clogged or not? can precats clog too?

 

It is not useless, it just isn't worth the money. And if you do plan on getting one, get the one off eBay for $30 shipped. It is resonated also. There are two different models of it, one being 13.xx inches long and the other being 12.xx, you will want to get the 12.xx inch one.


I am assuming you are referring to the 6th gen BBK.

The OP has a 2001, so the 6th gen BBK will NOT clear his wheels.

The 6th gen BBK will only clear the 2002-2003 17" wheels, NOT the 2001 17" wheels.

 

This.

 

to me.... the high flow cat the custommaxima sells looks jus like the ebay 1 that u can get for i think 30 shipped.. i have one and it sounds great and i noticed a differences in power

also the exhaust also seems to b the exact same EBAY exhaust that i have... search for the N1 catback

and if u do headers your better off just getting the long tube headers...

hmmmm......ima 50/50 on trying it out....

 

We've talked about this

When do you have a night free? We'll hit up SLC, as much as I hate it lol
I just got 4 new tires about 4 months ago. It made a big difference actually



And I don't need a ****ing mail order bride. I got bishes coming out the ears

 

Send one to MD... I got bishes too but ill gladly take more

 

nobody as disagreed with giving me the money so i still thats the best option.

Do what Rochester said...i agree with him

B

 

i say go with some nwp spacers and the catback

 

Obviously the OP is looking to SPEND it not SAVE it...
