Default FLP questions???

I want to get the whole setup, cats, LTs, etc coated also. I was searching and reading various posts, and something caught my eye. I've been having a conflict with kinda wanting an orp, but also wanting cats and needing them for emmisions also. I saw that FLP has the interchangeable ORP and cats. How does this work? Is it hard to change them out? Will this system pass emissions? What are your overall opinions on this setup, is it worth it? Can you run dual cutouts after the headers? Having the ability to swap cats and ORP seem worht it to me, but if it is a hard process, I might reconsider. Any other headers offer this interchangeable feature? Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate your help!!!

I have FLP's and it is pretty simple to change between the orps and the cats, 2 clamps on each cat and you put the orp in place of it. They also can do orp's with cut outs that go in place of the cats also. I would say it's about mabey a 20 min job to switch back and forth between orp and cats, I have not switched mine yet but will soon!!

If you want cats and ORP then this is the setup to get. Also, swapping from cats to ORP and back is very easy and if your car is not lowered you can even do it without jacking up the car.

FLP also came out with ORP that have a cut-out installed. Talk to Mitch at FLP and he can set you up with what you want.

It's takes me 15-20 minutes to swap the ORPS/Cat in and out. The new ORP's with cutouts look like a nice piece too. As for "quality" issues on mine - I had zero...zip...nil...none! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
