hey y'all i'm kinda new at this ! my catalytic converter got bad so i have to change it and i saw this hi flow cat. for sale which would actually fit but there is no where on it where the O2 sensor would fit. also i was told that cutting off my o2 sensor would affect my car computer!! shouldd i buy it?? if ishould, what should i do to my o2 sensor??

 

most cheap (around $100.00) or so do not come with the o2 sensor hole OR the flanges in which to mount it-it would have to be welded in. I bought one for about $300.00-a hi flow street cat from landspeedracing.com. runs better and sounds better, then again i also have header and cat-back. hope this helps
my cat came with everything, but look at the price

 

hey man, does the wielding of the o2 sensor to that cat converter have any adverse effects on my car computer?????????

 

You'd be welding the flanges, or o2 bung, to the cat. The flanges will hold the o2 sensor in the catalytic converter, so the sensor itself isnt harmed.

This is like using an adapter for electronics, all it is is the medium for something to work.

Oh, btw, make sure you know if youre getting a 'high flow cat' or a 'test pipe'. The difference is horsepower---and a test pipe is illegal for street.

look for a carsound catalytic converter, or catco even. They make converters that have bungs already in place, just plug n play.

Good luck!

 

Yeah what accordselux said. My friend got one of those "high-flow" catalytic converters, but in reality it was a resonators. If you're keeping your eye on one of those 70 dollar cats from ebay, then look away.
