Cat.....
Sunday, November 28, 2010 8:09 AM
I am redoing my exhaust cause....well it sucks.

I am curious about some of your guy's experiences with magnaflow cats. I had two. One was fine till I sold the exhaust and one started rattling after less then a year.

I was looking at performance curve ones but they dont ship to canada.

So it seems my only option is magnaflow.

Is this normal for them to wear out so fast or was my instance somewhat of a freak?

**Before anyone says catless. I want to keep my car reasonably quiet, and we have e-testing here.

The Magnaflow product is decent. I'd say give it another shot.

It's the heatshield on my Magnaflow that rattles. The top half of the shield separated a little from the bottom, and there are distinct engine frequencies that cause it to resonate really bad. I cut a little bit of the shield away (just around the 02 sensor/bung) and that seemed to help quite a bit.

You could go with a Vibrant. Iv used a lot of there fab stuff over the last year. There prices seem to be very good and there Canadian so it saves you on some duty fee's and shipping

Catco spun stainless cat. $45 shipped, and it's the only part of my exhaust that has no rust on it.
