04CHASE Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 i would check them soon just to see how they are, these havent been on the market for long so who knows how good they really are. i dont think ill be replacing them with the same ones though.

wody Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) chase how did you get your cats out? looked like you only put the v clamps on the header side. now in these pictures it looks like you got the v rings on both ends. probably be a good idea to do that now just in case.

04CHASE Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 they arent to hard to get off and i dont feel like welding on another set, if i end up getting new cats i will do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 its a good thing those didnt plug completely... you'd be looking for another LQ9. i am pulling the entire exhaust off right now to paint it. Paint or powder coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactosupersport Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Chase, I would hope that they would give you a credit toward the ceramic ones. This is pretty weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 went to the magnaflow website and found the 3" ceramic cats but the epa engine limit is a 5.2L and the cali carb engine limit is a 5.0L engine. are we s.o.l. or is there another cat for our 6.0+ engines.

04CHASE Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 i saw that also , but that is what size they work ( for emissions) on. not the actual flow capability of them . so im waiting to find info out from magnaflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
