My current exhaust has multiple leaks in this section of the exhaust and exstinsive rust. At the this point its simpler jsut to replace the unit that do a temp fix.

I found two cheaper options

this is the walker unit $317

this is the eastern catalytic unit $285

has anyone ever used either of this brands? If money was no object i would probably buy the maganflow replacement.

With unit is better? from a glance the Eastern looks better to me and cheaper.

 

Im not a fan of any of them the rear bank dump style can't be great for performance i woul much rather see and 90* bend merge style on that section

 

I am an ebay addict. I always check there first. $166 plus shipping.

Thats almost too cheap to be true lol. I wonder about the quality. I went ahead and purchased the eastern unit. Hopefully its a good quality but we will see.
