thanks james for the pic and explanation.

sweet. Even if you don't get your car back...feel free to drop by and check us out. If you don't see anything worth looking at, you can still do some shoe shopping.

Back on topic tho...Did you have the infamous "deceleration hiss" that most test pipes and HF cats have? Not to be confused w/ the 3K rasp.

Thank you!
Not sure if I remember correctly, but I think the deceleration hiss (or more like rattlesnake rattle) are caused by the aftermarket headers and not by the test pipes and HF cats.

Most ppl encounter it when they add test pipes or certain hf cats...Mine first started w/ my test pipes. Some people don't have the "hiss" until after they do test pipes and add headers on top of that. I guess it's all about how much flow you have going through those silly pipes... I was just wondering if the resonators on the megan pipes helped clean this up at all...

I don't now much about this, but can I replace the stock cats with the ones you have for sale with no other needed upgrades? Of course some new cat back exhaust would be nice, but I would have to wait a little bit. What benefits will I get by changing the cats only?

Why are you selling them?

yes you can replace the stock cats with either the hi-flow cats or the test pipes and still run a oem exhaust.


the oem cats are the most restrictive part of the exhaust system. (the next most restrictive part is the ypipe) by changing the out the cats, performance will increase due to better flow/less restriction.


i am selling because i do not need both parts anymore.

Another dumb question. I will assume that they fit my 2004 350z Roadster? If so, I will buy them.

mgl,

I asked around about getting these installed and nobody wanted to touch it, since it is still a new car (OBD2). Here is a quote from the Random Technology website:

Under Federal EPA regulation, replacement of original catalytic converters is allowed only if the original converter(s) is missing, or the vehicle has more than 50,000 miles or is at least five years old and the need for a replacement has been established and documented, or a local inspection program has determined the existing converter is in need of replacement.

I'm sure you know this, but I will have to back out of this sale. I appreciate your helpfulness in answering my questions. I would rather not have to deal with any possible failing smog test and any possible warranty problems at this time.


Thanks

its okay.
most people save the oem cats when it comes time to smog.

and you can change out the cats on your own.
