Good price on magnaflow catback?

[MississippiMaro]

Is this a good deal on a Magnaflow catback?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33630

my cat's partially blocked and i figure i might as well do the whole exhaust.

thats the EXACT one that i got for my 99... good people to work with, very reliable, and the fact that what there offering is 500 to 550 + tax and shipping... this is an AWSOME deal

That's the one I bought. Great seller.
If you want to use the cat, you will need a 3" to 2.5" reducer, a 2.5" to 2.5" coupling and some 2.5" pipe about a foot long. You will also have to cut the flange off your cat and weld it to the piece of pipe you buy. You will either have to tourch the old o2 bung out of your factory pipe or buy a new one, too.
Here is how it lays out:
Cut your Y pipe as close to the factory cat as you can and remove the old system. Then, weld on the 3"-2.5" reducer. Next, weld on the cat, and then 2.5"-2.5" coupling. After that, weld the flange off your old cat to a piece of new pipe you also buy. Then, hang the new system. Once it is in place you can judge how much you have to cut off the new pipe with the flange you welded onto it to fill the gap from the S pipe to the converter. Once the pipe is cut to length, mark and drill a hole for the o2 bung to be welded in place. Finally, bolt the new piece of pipe in place, weld it into the coupling and reconnect your o2 sensor.
Nice and easy. :rolleyes:

I'm just wonderin but couldn't you just use c-clamps and/or band clamps?

[Speed Freak]

Everything has to be welded to pass inspection wear I live.

[BobsSilverSix]

Oh well nevermind, just wondering. :cool:

Why would you want to go with a 2.5" exhaust for, isn't the same size as stock? I would look for a 3" system, but thats just me.

[Speed Freak]

Stock is 2.25, also high flow cat and the magnaflow mufler is basicly a big chery bomb.
If your not runing FI or don't have major mods (big *** cam and sutch) the 2.5 is perfect for more hp wile still retaining low end tourk.

I bought my 3 inch system with 2 day air for a total of around 430 bucks. It was 379 for the exhaust itself.

I've got a 3.4 and unless i'm missin something, we don't have an o2 sensor on the cat.

Also, what is the stock size of the 3.4 cat inlet/outlet? Will this cat fit?

I'm not doing the install myself as the person who owned my camaro before me had a cheap cat welded in so i can't unbolt and put a new exhaust in without going to a shop.

The magnaflow is a great exhaust, you'll be very impressed with it great gains, good sound, good looks - what more could you ask for? Goodluck with the install.

FORGET THAT CRAP! I just bought my magnaflow catback for like $323 from jegs. And that price was shipped! And it is 3" not 2.5". JMO. But look at jegs before you buy. Later,

[Evilknieval]

yeah the 3.4 original cat is 2.5 inches on both sides

[MississippiMaro]

Am I going to get more of a ricey sound with the 2.5 or the 3" catback?

My car is bone stock except for fuel injectors which are accel.
