Replaced cat with straight pipe...pics of cat....

When we took off the cat off my car, we were surprised......

This pic is the inlet of my cat...


Pic is just a piece that came out of the cat...


Definately after looking at it, this could be the culprit to my low horsepower when I dynoed it...

The only time I put the cat on my car is when I test for emissions. I know there has been a problem with the random technologies cats melting on forced induction cars. That is nothing new.

Yep - I just gutted mine as well.

Is there anyone else who sells a 3" Cat with flanges already welded and ready to bolt on besides R/T?

Doesn't matter to me really - just curious.
