If you want to delete posts go into edit your post.. and there is a little box at the left hand corner to delete the message.. Just check that box and hit the edit button at the bottom.. Should take care of your problem. Dom

The first two are in the exhaust manifolds and the third one is on the front y-pipe. I would check with Summit for a hi-flo convertor.. Our supplier is supposed to be stocking what they call "free flow" convertors.. But they haven't got them in yet.. So all I have now is the standard replacement cats. BTW, If you stop at Summit and purchase a replacement cat (for the third cat) I'll install it.. (welded on) for about $40 Dom

I have never had a car with three befor,Is this engine bad on emissions or what.. Any ways I don't want to hit and miss when it comes to money these things I'm sure are kinda costly right? Not that money is a factor here! I just don't want to be runing around smelling like a bad egg Well I will call Summit for price and availabilty!!!!

The bottom one is by itself.. and can be replaced seperately.. You could have the beginnings of a bad 02 sensor that is causing the rich smell (Rotten egg) after driving when warm.. Hard to say at this point... Let me know! Dom

OP RRRSE96 Member R Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 91 Cuyahoga Falls	Ok here is what I found out, Summit wants 139.00 for the high flow 3rd cat: 10 to 20 days on a pre order,not bad I guess!! If it is the 02 Sen: then I am looking at some diff: in getting the top one. No one has it in there warehouse, so they can't even order it. The price is 69.99 and the bottom one is avail: in stock for $64.99!! Dom Can you get the 02 sen: for me and can you get a better price? When you get the high flow cats in the warehouse what will the price be on yours? Do we really need three cats please advice Thanks Rick mods: 1996 SE V6 CD4E (moom light blue) blue int: SVT exhaust (res less)thanks DOM honey comb lower grill Rear dome light cool blue 9005 in low beams 885 in fogs Rear strut brace fogs on with parks yellow fogs behind top grill ford windsheild banner painted calipers sho under hood pad 35% tint all around kkm intake heat sheild "made my self" Rebadged Ricks Se http://y42.photos.yahoo.com/rickanddenise94
