High Flow CAT....

Postby naz0 » April 28th, 2008, 10:50 pm

Does any one know where i can pick up a cheap high flow CAT for extractors and a 2 and a half inch exhaust? Or what a reasonably price is for one?

Magnaflow 2.5's are pretty cheap - the one in my AU was about $200 installed. Don't expect any difference though on a stock 6 provided your original cat isn't blocked.

I think it was Trufit in Moorabbin. I would advise against going there, here is a picture of why!

Oh, and it took them 3 attempts (me going back each time) for them to get the exhaust tip on straight, and with welds all the way around, and I aint exactly fussy with this sorta crap.

True true. And it still leaks at the pictured flange and sounds like a fart machine - oh wait, all Ford 6's do!

$330 for a high flow cat and to fit the cat and the extractors, is this reasonable?
