Tell me how it goes when you get it installed.. Im curious to see how you like it.. Hopefully around tax time i can get a nice setup for my truck, new cats, muffler and piping. Good luck with it.

 

Quick question guys. I see that magnaflow offers a 16", 13", 12", and an 11" cat. Which length should I get? I don't want to restrict flow, but I want to make sure that it's going to take away the majority of my deathly drone. Thanks!

 

How long is the one you have now? It there even room for a longer converter?
I would think the longer it is the more restrictive it will be but the emissions could possibly be lower with the bigger longer cat. ( know lower emissions is not you primary goal here)

I'm assuming the bigger cat has a larger honeycomb in it...

 

I'm not sure how long my existing gutted magnaflow cat is, it's pretty small to begin with. There will be enough room to fit one though even if it's bigger. The guy at summit was trying to sell me a Catco. He said they are hi-flow and are about 20 bucks cheaper than magnaflow. Is catco any good or should I just buy a magnaflow?

 

Hold on let me check the length I got. I like my Magnaflow but don't know a lot about the Catco ones.

That is the cat I used. I ordered it from Summit and all.

 

Great, thanks Will. I'm going to go with that one.

 

Yup I know someone else on here I want to say Jason.w that showed me pictures and gave me model numbers of his setup had a Meineke put one on and they used a 16" one I think but honestly I don't see the need for that so I just went with the 13" one.

 

No, no, no

Best bet is to go to a shop and buy that cat an labor from them. That way if it breaks up there's no way for them to say "faulty part" over poor installation and weasel out of fixing it. The only reason to buy one on your own is if you personally are going to install it.

I bought a 94000 series universal cat and had it installed for around $200. Mine was 3"si/so, no idea what length as it doesn't matter, the shop will know what to do.

 

Not bad advice, but only if the shop tells you what brand they use or lets you choose.
There is a lot of cheap crap out there...
The shop will definitely mark up the price of the part and most shops warranty only covers the part not the labor to install if it fails (been there done that)

So buy bringing in your own part you may still be ahead of the game.The new part will likely carry a mfg warranty anyway.

My point is compare apples to apples and ask about the so called 'warranty'.
