Buying a catalytic converter...need help pleeeaaasee
 

my light came on in the car and had it serviced only to be told i need a new cat...i heard about the magnaflow cat but as im reading more and more...it looks like theres a lot of people who say it no good...i have a 03 alero...3.4 liter V6..new O2 sensors...wires and plugs.....will the cat sound good or do i need to add more to make it sound better....and what other mods will be good for the car..performance wise...also whats the major difference between the magnaflow and the CatCo..or watever the name is..im looking for something with a good solid sound ...not too loud and not to soft...thanks for any response......and please yall..dont get off topic with this one

use the search bar im not helping till u use the search bar the answer is in there

im not the only one that will say use search bar go ther eand type in ahhh lets see catalytic converter or try catco and wow its on the first page dont come at me like this man lots of peeps on this site will back me up its in the search bar they yelled at me enough times i use it everytimeits in there

Wow, you expect someone to help you now. Good luck. Here's my advice though, stick with something closer to stock. Anything higher flowing and you may just end up throwing more codes.

i know i was gonna help him if he said i looked and cant find it but not now i have the answer right here and he wont get it cuz of his shitty mouth. excuse my language

well first of all ....i wouldnt be asking if i didnt look...the first thing yall gonna say is use the search bar....i see it in many of these posts...i ask a simple question looking for a simple response...same thing u learned in school....ask questions....be inquisitive!!!!!but nooo....yall gotta be hard or whatever....thats the purpose of forums...proffessionals or semi pro helping those who dont know...if u aint willing to help...dont post nothing on my thread...simple!!!!!...could of been nice about it...

a magnaflow is what i would choose, but if you don't have emission I would just get a test pipe welded up...

i appreciate that much!!!! i need one to pass emissions later this month.....would the flowmaster muffler for the camaro be good with that too...

me personally i would get a catco from summitt its 159-199 now u got a answer u can apologise now

lol...appreciate that too....U GOT IT!!!!!

see we do help people we just say search bar because there are lots of post about everything here we dont say that out of anger just to help you more and get used to the site.

The magnaflow one is really no different. Glad to see Catco finally cleared their testing...

TBH sfi3400.. you're too nooby to tell people to use the search bar or rep the site. But that's just me :p

^ :thumb:

see i still get dawged for things haha but here if you want a magnaflow catco there is this. i want to add it to my car just not enough money http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-23520/

The high flow cat will most likely throw a code. If you have cali emissions on your car, it will throw a code.

If you have California Emission, you'll have an air pump in the front right corner of the engine bay.

Muffler wise, Yes the Flowmaster 80 will fit and look good, however it seems to sound bad around 3000 RPM's. A Super 40 or 44 (the 44 is a tad smaller) will work and sound nice. I have dual 44's on mine and it gets a little ricy sounding around 4000, but just a little.

I have a vid on youtube of it Look up my user name "Redogonyx"

However please do it right. Get the bumper exhaust cutout done. If you don't have the car to do it right, just stick with one Super 40 or 44 and add the other later


You, flat out, have big effing balls to say that

u joined last month and already think u run shit here lol

Ok, props to you for trying to help out, but lets clear up something. Magnaflow is one company, Catco is another company. Both make high-flow catalytic converters.

@sfi3400: Now, I also want to commend you on recommending a new member use the search button, because that drives us all nuts on a daily basis. However, lets try using a little more tact next time.

@jelani6428: Tone it down a notch. We have so many people come in and ask the same questions over and over without using search, so don't get offended if we ask you to use it first. That was a pretty childish outburst for such a minor thing. Recommendation: start your post out with "I tried using the search first but couldn't find any usable info on...." and you're less likely to get jumped on. Reason I say this is because we know there are tons of threads on catalytics, but sometimes the search doesn't always turn up the info we want.

Good luck, and welcome to the site.

red dog you know me i got big balls for a little guy hahahahaha. but i didn't mean to come off as a prick just if i didn't say use search bar someone and 10 others would of probably said that.'
