catco direct fit
catco direct fit went up to summit racing this morning and ordered both passenger and driver side cats, the passenger side is shot and i dunno how much longer i have left on the driver side...cost about $450 total, they didnt have them in stock so there shipping them to my house, ive heard more bad than good about these but i need to get this done for emissions testing, hopefully they work out good, ill keep you guys posted and when i get em installed i let u know how they are...anyone else get these? good or bad? worth the money?

lol dude cancel your order. WHHYYYY did you get DIRECT FITS? seriously, you coulda got 2 magnaflow cats for $130. then just take it to a muffler shop, have the old cats cut off and the new cats welded in. ****, for a lot less you can get ultra-high flow metallic bullet-style cats!
never get the direct-fits. they're soooo expensive and offer no better performance.

never get direct fit... get the 94106 Carsound (made by magnaflow).. 55$ each from summit.. cut the old ones off.. have the new ones welded on.. they out flow the stockers by far, and are OBDII compliant

You got screwed. Post and ask BEFORE you buy, not after! Ebay cats welded in place would be much cheaper and work just as well.
You would have been better off buying a USED cat for that side!

yea dood, cancel or return that order if you can. i can get you 8 cats for that price that'll flow just as good if not better and you'll still pass emissions. direct-fits are scams. anyone muffler shop can weld them both in in an hour.
guess im the only one whos prolly actually got these, put em on today, cars running a million times better, would have liked to save some money but needed to get it done asap, only thing now is that i broke a bolt on the driver side right off the stock manifold so now i have an amazing leak, clicks like crazy, dont know what im gonna do about fixing it, was thinking about just drilling through the broken bolt and putting a new bolt in, but theres hardly any room to move around under their, would anything like exhaist wrap work? any ideas?
