Anyone interested in trading your stock cat for a stock cat that has been hollowed out? IF you are interested, I'll pay shipping for the trade.

 

Why trade a cat that costs over $500 from the dealer and is required by law for one thats been ruined, when we could go spend $20 and have a muffler shop weld a straight pipe to replace it?

Cause no muffler shop that is worried about not being fined $2500 is going to weld that pipe on for you. A Hollow muffler will pass a visual inspection for those who don't have emissions testing.

 

Ive had two shops do it. And they dont have to weld it on, you buy flanges, and have them weld the flanges to the pipe. If they welded the pipe on youd have to cut if off to put the cat back on. They dont care if they make the pipe. Obviously they wont remove the cat for you, I was talking about making the pipe that can bolt in...

Still dumb as hell to trade a functioning cat for this garbage.

 

Honda Tech has sure degraded....I remember when people were nice and kept stupid comments to themselves.

The car used to have a full very loud exhaust with a test pipe. So I put the stock exhaust back on. The problem was that the cat had burned up and was totally clogged, so I had to hollow it out to make the car rev over 7k...it was so bad it felt like the car wasn't going into vtec.

I know that some people do hollow out thier cats, especially in states whre there is no emission testing, so I thought that maybe someone who wanted to do that would rather just trade.

I'm reallly starting to get annoyed with some of the people in this forum. Thank you Trey for your constructive comments...you are the exception.

Doesn't seem like a fair trade. Stock cats are expensive, all cats are expensive. A hollowed out cat is just basically a pipe that looks like a cat, no? Value is value. might get better results if the trade was hollow + cash.

This forum has degraded sure, but I don't think those that are posting in *this* thread have anything to do with that.
