you also have a procharger lol.

i just want to know cause i have two options for a dp.

catless or catted. the catted dp has 40k miles on it and the catless one has 3. but being that its catless mileage doesn't really matter cause nothing can go wrong unless the pipe rots out. lol

I'm curious about this too because I was considering going catless but then everyone was saying that it sounds like **** so I'm wondering if it's worth the money for a high flow cat

lol
i have two deals in the process. the catless being the more expensive option. lol

cause it has 3k miles. and the catted one has 40k. which means the cat isnt too far away from taking a dump. am i right?

catless. i wish i'd gone catless but with the 3" dp the 2.5" cat and outlet help. if the catless dp is a 3" i wouldn't do it though that's gonna rape back pressure.

Thought you had an LSJ DP? If you get rid of it LMK, even trade for the part we have been talking about?

i do have an lsj dp. but since i've gotten it on its been hitting the front sway bar because auto trans = motor postition fail.

lol

so i really need a new one.

does anyone know the effective life of an aftermarket Magnaflow high flow catyltic convert?

cause i'm looking at one with 40k miles and idk if its worth it.

Honestly if I were you and if my state has no inspection laws(idk bout Jersey) I would just go catless. It will be raspy in the upper rpm but nothing like a honder.

Word, that was what I was thinking, here in NC we have yearly inspection and I was thinking of getting some spare pipe from my friend's exhaust shop and fabbing up a 2.5 catless, I just dont have the flanges to spare.
