Were to get straight pipe to replace cat

[98GREENGLOW]

Well I hope there cheap cus Im broke. I need to know were I can order one for my 98 v6. Also I have a 2.5 inch tri flo .... Dose that play a factor in the size of pipe I get?

You probably won't find one anywhere online. However, most exhaust shops could build you one. Just tell them the size of the piping you want to replace (the inlet and outlet of cat). Im certain they can build one no prob. Since you are having it made, and exhaust work is typically cheaper, you will probably get it done very inexpensive. I recommend just calling around your area and saying something in the area of like, 'I need pipe made made to bypass my cat with inlet and outlet of 2.5in with flanges on both ends to bolt it in.' Good luck.

That's a sure way for them to give you absolutely NOTHING! The only thing worse would be to take your catalytic converter into the shop, and say,

You: "I need a piece of pipe - about as long as this thing here. And I need it to be the same size ID and OD as this thing...oh and if you could weld on a flange that is to the exact same dimensions as this one."

Shop Guy: "So you're by-passing your cat?"

You: "No, oh no, no, I'm trying to construct a rocket core for a science project for school and this thing, whatever it is, seemed like a good foundation for my 'Lauch Tower Support'."

Shop Guy: *pauses for a moment* "So you're by-passing your cat?"

You: *Evil grin* "Look, just build the D@mn thing! Ok?"

Shop Guy: "Joey! I need a 'Cat-special' on the double, and fab. a flange STAT!"

Thanks for the help my local mechanic said he will do it for 75$$$ including install.
