Is it that hard to install on a 94 Z28? I have no welding materials or access to them. Are clamps good enough? I need to save money and I think mine's about to bite the bullet. I wanted to buy one and install it myself. I saw that after the cat it can be unbolted but in front it would need to be cut. I figured that I could probably get a clamp for the front. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks,
Shawn

 

You have two options:

Expensive. You can buy the entire y-pipe with the new cat welded on. Just unbolt the old and bolt up the new. This will cost around $150-$200 and be the easiest to do.

Cheaper, You can purchase a universal 3" in and out and cut the old cat off and weld up the new one. You will need to rig a cat support mount too. Universal cats go for around $60-$70. I dont think clamps will cut it.

 

I'll have a week old cat for sale here in a couple of days if you're interested. Its a magnaflow high flow that i bought new and installed in my car but since i have heads, cam, and a lot of overlap its just to hard to keep the cat cool and fear of the heat causing damage or something. I'm going to replace it with a bullet muffler this weekend. I had it installed on Thursday April the 6th.

 

wrd1972 - Where can I find the expensive option? With the cat welded on...the dealer?


Z95m6 - How much are looking to sell if for? That's the one the local muffler shop wants to put on for me but it's $279 and I can't afford that at the moment.

Thanks for the help.

Magnaflow has both versions. Anybody who sells magnaflow should be able to order it. The dealer will rape you.

 

Don't do that, you can buy new high flows off ebay for about $65 shipped. I'd probably sell mine for 40 shipped. I paid to have it installed and it cost me $80 just last week, so at the max you should have about $150 in the whole setup if you go with a new cat. I'll have my cat off this weekend and i'll inspect it and get back with you.

 

Cool, thanks Z95m6. I appreciate it.

I got it cut off and the insides of it look fine. If you want it i'll take $40 shipped for it.

 

If he doesn't want it, i'll take it!!

 

He has first shot if he passes then i'll let you know.

 

aight man

 

Hey Z95m6 and wakebordr2006 I'm going to have to pass . Good news for you wakebordr2006 I assume. I just got a letter Friday saying I have to "Vacate the premises" of the house I was renting so I had to put all of my money I had down on a new house. I really hope my converter doesn't go out till I get some more money. Thanks for all the help though. I appreciate all of the information.

Shawn

 

Sorry to hear man, i hope things go well for you. Wakebordr2006 pm me if you want the cat.

 

I know this is kinda old, but did it sell?
