I'm looking to replace my stock cat with a high flow cat. What is the best sounding, best performing and easiest to install. Do I need O2 simulators, how many? I was thinking of putting in a straight pipe but still have emissions testing. If they check my OBDII will it appear to be fine if I have O2 simulators? They don't physically check the emissions....just plug in the cable to the test port. Thanks

OK...I ordered one but how hard is it to install. Can it be done by me...I've installed an exhaust system, rotors, thermostat, etc. before so I'm not a complete retard in the mechanic department.<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my websiteComment

If you can weld go for it, remmember to make an 02 bung also. I don't recommemnd clamping it, it will rattle and piss you off. My o2 sensor whent bad 6 months after I did this. It sett off an SES light and all that mess. It cost like $70 to get a new one. There are three on our cars. One per manifold and one after the cat. The one after the cat is the more expensive one. Got a warranty on it so it's all good.

I took my cat off and with a very long screw driver, I emptied out all the rocky crap in it. I put it back on and passed the emmisions test with flying colors! It sound really good too. This way if they look underneath to see if you have one, you still do. It's the same as a straight pipe, and I noticed increased power in 2nd to 3rd gear.\'94 Pontiac Firebird 3.4<p>MODS<br />Custom CAI, by pass cat,<p>soon to come<br />SLP CAI, sweet thunder exhaust, 1.25 lowering springs, 3 pt sub frame connectors, traction bar, port & polished heads & intake manifold, Headers, strut tower bar, ram air hood, SLP rims 18 in, tires? any suggestions?

I don't see how this wouldn't trigger a SES light. Everyone seems to get one when their cat is going bad so why wouldn't it when the cat is stripped.<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my websiteComment

Sorry too be off topic but you have the exact set up that i am thinking about getting on my car. IF just have a few questions. Frist, how is the over all sound, i mean can you stand back and say "man that is one good sounding car?" Also how is the sound in the upper RPMs, does it get really raspy at all? 2nd, did you notice any loss of low end tq? And 3rd, did you have to get an O2 sim, was your check engine light on after the cat change over?2004 Dodge Dakota 3.7 litres of raw power!!<br />Nothing but a 6!<br />Do you know for sure?

Toast: I have the catco 6007 and mine does trigger the SES light to come on. I am not sure if an O2 sim would help or not since i dont have one. Everyoen else i know that has a Catco cat also has the SES light on. I have heard that some of the more expensive hi-flow cats do not trigger the light..i dont know for sure though.
As for sound, i got my cat put on when i still had stock exhaust and it made a difference in sound. It was louder and deeper at all RPM's.
Good luck<b>Matt</b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=1\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro Z28 M6</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=3\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro M5</a>Comment

My SES light came on after 10 months of having my catco installed. I've resetted the computer three times since then, because I'm too cheap to buy an 02 sim..<b>99 Camaro Z28 A4</b><br />R.I.P. 00 Firebird 3.8<br />14.89 @ 90, 2.03 60\'Comment
