Is there anyway to ?

 

do you mean right after the headers or just in general? Mines at the back of my y pipe.

 

That is the best way to do it. Won't be as many fitment issues. I have pics if you want them. Just run it between the I-pipe and Y-pipe.

I had called thunder racing earlier and the guy told me that basically having the cat that far back would be ineffective. He said that its too far back and wouldn't get hot enough to be effective. The only thing I thought later would be to bolt a collector on each of the headers and weld cats right after the headers(?). Then continue on with the y-pipe. I actually don't need emissions, I just don't want that unburned fuel, old muscle car smell all the time. call me crazy

 

thats not true they will get plenty hot. it will just take time. id run one in the i pipe or at the end of the y pipe like mentioned. that should work well enough to remove the smell.

 

Yes
...and yes

 

Jesus, thats too gorgeous to stick under my car. Wow. Thats for my '02 SOM WS6
Nice design though, thats kinda what i had in mind. Where or how can I get that

 

I take it that's a custom y-pipe? That thing is BEAUTIFUL! I would love to have a set-up like that, but I wouldn't have any ground clearance at all on the driver's side of my car...it sits too low.

 

Thanks. I bought the cats on Ebay and Mufflex custom made the pipe. After that I coated it at work. You should be able to find a local shop that can make one for you.

Thanks. I haven't lowered my car at all and I have about 4" of clearance at the collectors. I have yet to scrap but I am VERY careful. The pipe could have been tucked up tighter against the floor but I didn't want roasted feet or melted carpet. Mufflex did a good job of finding that happy medium for me.

 

What about the Y? Did the make that too? Whats the pipe size before and after the Y? Looks like 3inch after.

 

since i have a 97 Z i need two cats or can i switch it to one and still pass emission. does anyone think it is possible to have two cats and two electric cutouts mounted in front of them.

 

Depending on the emissions... Just get LT's, a Y pipe, and one Cat. Get the other ones programmed out. Forget that cutout to, get a good catback.

what about washington state. does anyone know about the emissions there

 

For emissions you may just have to run an AIR tube on the cat. It all depends on how they test it.

great info.i was also thinking about this also for when i do get longtubes i ll need a cat for inspection purposes then just take it out and slap my ORP with a cutout on there.

btw how much was that y pipe my whitey?
