I'm looking at this cat on amazon. Amazon says it fits my car. Will it bolt up?

I would like to know if it will fit my 95 GSR with completely stock exhaust. The cat on the car is about the same length (17.65").

However, on http://www.magnaflow.com/02catalytic...irectfit=36637 it says "excludes GSR". I know I will have to get an o2 bung welded on, I'm just concerned about it bolting up.

 

2.25 straight pipe. problem solved....and little more horses to your car




im kidding, goodluck on that,

 

haha ya u know how it is with smog here

 

yea i was worried but i have someone to smog my car, 150 on the spot. and ive been pulled over COUNTLESS times, never checked the bottom of my car or popped my hood...all stock besides bolt-ons and dropped

 

No, for some reason they don't make one for the 94-95

 

Thanks guys.

 

I dont see why not. It should fit .030 of an inch diff is very little. Hell i work on apache helicopter for a living and some of the bearing and mounts we inspect daily are allowed to wiggle that much.

 

Probably will bolt up just fine, if it's meant for your GS-R. But I think you'll find that a cat which comes without an oxygen sensor hole won't be ARB-legal, and the BAR may complain. Your problem is going to be finding a cat that's ARB-legal for your GS-R.

Some resources, below:

I see that an ARB-legal cat for a '95 GS-R lists for $465, but "Your Cost" is $267.

 

Yeah I don't the biggest problem is the .030 but differing CARB numbers to pass smog.

 

Oh I did not notice your in a CARB restricted place. I honestly feel for you guys in cali. It makes me feel very fortunate.

 

Why can't get you get the universal version? Passed smog on my hatch.

 

Maybe it depends on whether or not they check to see if your cat is CARB-legal. A non-CARB-legal cat may work exactly like a CARB-legal cat, but that doesn't matter to the lawmakers; they want to see their imprimatur on the cat.

California officially cares about two things:
1) does the engine pass the tailpipe test?
2) are the parts compliant with California laws?

Most other jurisdictions generally only care about what comes out the tailpipe, or what shows up on the OBD-II reader. Most other jurisdictions only care that the cat is present at all.

CA residents end up getting whacked double.

 

Check to see where I'm from?!

 

Did the test guys check to see if your cat was CARB-legal, or did they just put the car on the dyno?

 

Of course he did.
