Default Stock replacement cats?

Hey all,

My passenger side cat just went out on me and the shop said it would be about $450 to replace. So.....I figured I'd pick up a set of high flow cats instead of the ridiculously priced stock cat. Does anyone sell a direct replacement hi-flow cat for our cars?

Thanks in advance all.

you can either have the stockers replaced under warranty, or if you want the performance and aren't gonna do LT's, then magnaflow makes direct replacement high flow cats.

I'll hopefully be getting the stock one's replaced. I'd rather spend the money on other performance needs

If you have trouble getting the stock cats replaced I have some off a 02 ss.You can just have them if you pay the shipping. They came off a friends car and I couldnt just let him throw them away. I think they have bout 30000 miles on them.

Yeah i believe random tech makes them but they do not flow much better than magnaflows and the magnaflows are much cheaper.

Ended up getting the stockers replaced for free

Thanks to all! You saved me about $450.
