got cats!
anyone do a 98 yet? called stillen and they tried to help, no luck.
I believe the cat setups are the same anyway...one behind engine in front of firewall, one before muffler... Last edited by henshman; 06-23-2009 at 01:34 PM.

I would say for $100 it's worth it to just pull the trigger and find out, worst case scenario, you have to take it to an exhaust shop and have them weld on an extension piece.

You are right, $150 with ship...
I appreciate all the input from you guys... I am going to remove the old after I find another compatible Magnaflow and buy some stainless, make my buddy show "how" to weld get whatever needs to be bent at the shop learn it myself thanks

Heres an update on my progress! I began grinding off the heads of the two bolts holding the muffler to the cat. The first punched right out after removing the head, the second one was so rusted through I had to break out the air chisel, so far I'm three hours in and I finally got all of the bolts out... now I just have to wait for my dad to bring back my sawzall
 . I am planning on uploading the much requested sound clip tonightHeres what I started with  Almost there, about 30 minutes worth of grinding  Finally got it off, minus the rusted in bolt. I got that out too just don't have a picture yet

Ya, If I remember right the carfax said it came from colorado, lots of salt and snow, the whole underside pretty much looks like that
Oh and I finished the install  I haven't had a chance to drive it more than 30 seconds yet, I will update with sound clips as soon as I can. Another side note, it took me around 4 hours to remove the factory stuff, and about 10 minutes to put in the new stuff, I hate rust

After similar grinding and sawing off the old system I was able to fire up the new exhaust on my G/F's 2002. Its a great looking exhaust and top notch quality but...way louder than expected. Seeing as the car is primarily driven by my G/F she is not so happy. It just has way to much noise in the cab to live with. I might have to pull it and replace with something else. Any tricks to tone it down? oh well

I am still working on the sound clips, I want to get them as close to accurate as possible and I have been having some problems with my mics, I will update as soon as I can.
