Thunderbolt, converters good or garbage. A friend of mine had a set of unused 3" high flow round brick style converters that are about 11" overall and about 4.5 of catalyst. They were given to me at a deal, 30.00. I was planning on using these on a ls6 cammed 5.3 in my s10. Are these worthwhile converters that I can get a long service life from or should I just go ahead and buy a set of the spun metallic magnaflows??

How bad could they be?
Check the trader ratings. If the product was pure crap, they should have horrible feedback. For $30, they're probably worth a shot. Sure, they probably won't last as long or flow as well as a Magnaflow bullet cat, but for $30...may as well try it.
Magnaflow bullet cats cost over $100 a piece. It's like $250 shipped for 2 cats. You paid $30, so what can you honestly expect?
