WHY GOD, WHY?!

LOL, ok... Well, I know why, I bought it used off another member. I'll prolly just save the headache/heartache and just get one of the 3-bolt cats from Trubendz... we'll see. The weird thing is, it doesn't look short. Like, it looks like it would mount RIGHT where my stocker does, but I just checked, and the flange is wrong. Ye-argh.

This post has cleared up most of the confusion i had about parts needed for installing my weapon-r headers. So let me get this straight i will need the following parts for the install on my 2000 svt.

2 mil’s
1 flex pipe
1 test pipe from trubendz. Will the test pipe go where my CAT currently is?
1 3-bolt flange
What other odds and ends would you suggest?

you need MIL's.... you also need the flex pipe. You dont need a new test pipe. What you can do is remove the 2 bolt flange on your existing cat and weld on the new 3 bolt so that will connect to the flex pipe and so on...

DO you have the WR headers, becasue I have everything needed and I am sellign them

I know i said that modifying the stock main cat is a good idea, but im starting to have my doubts as its kinda a PITA and your probably better off buying a hi-flow cat or a test pipe from trubendz.

Just my .02

I have the wr headers and y-pipe. I am going to pay the $165 dollars and get this from trubendz. This is what your talking about when you said get the high flow cat...right?

I beleive so. It has the 2 bolt for your existing side and then the 3 bolt for your new y pipe. You have a flex pipe right?

granted you have someone who can weld for free and has access to a welder, it is cheaper, if your paying a shop to do it however, its probably cheaper and easier to just buy from trubendz.

That's the test pipe w/high flow cat that I got.
The only issue I had with Trubendz, besides it took them forever to send it, was that they put an O2 bung on the test pipe. I told them TWICE that I did not need one but they put one in anyway. Right now I have an oil drain plug in that hole.
