alrite, not too long ago i picked up an eastern high flow cat,
a resonator, and a muffler. i had meineke bend me some 2.5" pipes and it was great. 2 days ago, i realized that as soon as i go over 2k rpm's, theres a really nasty rattling sound. after bringing it back to meineke, i was told my cat was starting to fall apart inside and that it will only get worse. obviously i need to change it, but should i get another high flow, and also would it be worth having them also change my muffler while doing the work so i can upgrade to magnaflow? |

QUOTE(playr158 @ Oct 21, 2005 - 12:24 PM) catless is retarded...not only are you helping to destroy the enviroment it serves NO PURPOSE......the cats of today don't effect flow really, and if your that worried about it on your 100 hp celica then get a high flow cat that reduces emissions and gives you "improved" flow [right][snapback]347393[/snapback][/right] It's a 4 cylinder, it can't put out that much polutent. Besides that, I good high flow cat costs money. Do you know how much a piece of strate pipe costs to replace it? About $8, plus the price of clamps. Unless it in the manifold, then you just gut it. Every little gain you can get helps. So yeah, I'm not taking back my desition to remove the cat on my 135hp Celica. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
