Hello, Would appreciate any recommendations on replacing the CATs for a 2005 Silverado Reg Cab Short Bed Step Side Z71. It has an off-road y-pipe now but has to be restored to cats.
Thanks

 

Not sure if any one is parting out trucks in your area But that would be one option. The other would be Walker. The bends on the aftermarket Y pipes are not as nice as OEM but they make complete replacement Y pipe's if that what you need.

There is a few options if you look on Rock Auto.

Yeah, Craigslist would have someone parting it out. All the pull yards in my area cut em out before we get to the vehicles. Your cheapest option might be to find a yard that pulls the parts for you, or call up the picknpull type yards and see if they will pull one complete when it comes in, (would probably even have one in the yard waiting to get cleaned up). The cab doesn't matter. Any NBS with a 4.8 or 5.3 is going to have the same cats: tahoes, yukons, suburbans, silverados, sierra, avalanche.

I found a smoking deal on a new set of Pacesetter cats on ebay not too long ago.

Do you need manifolds and catback too? I would definitely be looking for someone parting one out if so.

 

Thanks guys, I'll post what he does.

 

Where are you located? I was trying with the idea of slapping some LTs and an ORY on my truck. It's got stock catted y pipe. 06 4wd.

 

I'm in Cartersville GA, my Brother is in Tamp Fl Area.

 

I'm in the Gainesville GA area. I would be willing to meet.

 

Thanks. I'll call him tomorrow to see what has developed there.

 

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. He has taken care of the issue without the need for the cats. Bad throttle body. Thanks for the offer to help out. Really good of you.
