So maybe that an option in both '00 and '01. Maybe others too? 98DodgeRam1500, you should go look at your cat to make sure before you buy.

 

96 is dual in single out... dont understand why different years dont have an uniform set up... you would think the dual in would be better performance wise...
doesnt matter who or what make the cat is it can catch fire , example : oil drip or park in high grass and see what happens.. for me it would be park in the field... and yes it happen last summer while bailing hey ( father inlaw was not happy)

 

You know you can't payeither of those prices right? Yet one more good reason to put it onby yourself.Checkwww.summitracing.com for direct fit catalytic converters and put it on yourself with clamps.

 

I wonder what kind of cat the first shop owner who wouldn't use MagnaFlow is pushing? Shops often make more on the parts than they do on labor, and bringing your own or asking for something on which they don't get at least a jobber discount will turn them sour. Find someplace willing to install the one you buy, or do it yourself. Aside from fighting rusty bolts, it's not a terrible job.

 

i got that same cat on my truck 1997 318 and i love it i think that shop just trying to make you buy the oem one to make more money off youbecause there are 350.00 just the the partiput my on myseft they not hard just have to know how to weld or find a friend that knows........and if you do get a shop that put the cat on for you get your old cat back and find a scarp place b/c those cat go for about 80-100 used every if they are nogood as long as that crap stil inside of it still there

 

+1 Thats exactly what I was gonna ask. Do they carry magnaflow? It wouldn't suprise me one bit if thats all it came down to. I've got a universal high flow si/so and I picked it up from either jegs or summit for about 95 bucks.

 

Already looked, its 2 in1 out.
I joined another dodge forum to get more feedback. not that I don't trust the great advice from everyone, but when I googled it there was a person there who had an issue after 1yr, and another who's caught fire. so I had to join to read on about it.

As I recall, that is a regular cat, not a high flow.
