Default Took a chance

Well for those of you looking for high flow cats @ a reasonable price, i just took a chance with some. Ill have pacesetters going to corsa sport and wana tone it down to a clean sound. Just purchased 2 "thunderbolt" 3 "high flow spun cats to weld in to the ory. $36 bucks a piece online and suppost to be comparable to the magnaflow spun cats. Anyhow ill let yall know how it goes. Hope they dont burn up the 1st day on the truck.
Steve

Ya dont get me wrong I love the sound of no cats but I drive this truck around 30 miles a day (city) and want it to have a clean "tuned" sound. not sound like a bat out of hell. Thats what my cutout is for.

I tried running those after the header but they didn't fit. Post pics if your muffler guy can get them on there. Maybe mine was lazy and didn't want to try it.

Some of them will. You just have to get lucky and find the right one.
