Straight bolt on & dyno.

We are having a GB on this now. They are $100 off.

This car has a problem with one of the O2 sensors though. We stripped the threads on one of the O2 sensors as we removed it from the stock cat. Had to use a thread file and a pick to try and repair the threads as best we could, but may have damaged it during the whole process (lots of WD40, PB Blaster, & cussing).

off topic for the 2003-2006 HFC's

Highly recommened if you are forced induction. More durable than ceramic brick catalysts as well.

Metallic substrate on the left. Engineering sample from Magnaflow (59950 series). Ceramic substrate on the right. The metallic core sample is what it looks like before it's coated, but you get the idea.


And here's a customer posted image of the actual manufactured metallic core cat. Compared this to the ceramic cat (above right).

Yes I do have a few orders for 07 test pipes. I'll have the test pipes done by month end.

Expected MSRP will be ~$350, expected street price will be ~$250-300.
