Do I need a new cat?

[Sunset01SS]

My 1996 V6 has 84,000 miles on it. Should I get a new cat before I install a new exhaust or should I just install a cat-back system. I don't want to spend much money, but I don't want the cat to go bad in like a year either. What do you think?

the cat will eventually need to be replaced. you might as well get a nice high flow catco cat to go along with your new catback so you can get them installed at the same time and save some $$$

Try here for the cat:

If you have the spare cahs I'd do it now.

is this a performance cat, because I dont see anything about it being high flow

makes sence to get the cat if you will be getting exhaust...the guy wont even charge you for the labor of cat cause its a 2 min job if everything is already off.

I ordered my cat from summit as well but i didnt pay 55 for it?? I n the magazine it says starting from 59.99 but i believe i paid like $125 for mine?? Can anyone tell me what the F*ck happened? :mad:
