PA 3L SVT,

Thanks for the info. I have both the stock intake and Y pipe so I can easily put them back in place. I agree the Y pipe couldn't possibly have anything to do with pre-cat failure, but we all know how dealerships operate.

So are you going to gut the pre-cat on the junkyard manifold or are you going with the belief that it's still good and will last a reasonable amount of time? In line with that... does it make sense to gut just one pre-cat or do both need to be done at the same time?

Also, given your comments I'm assuming that bank 1 is the front manifold and therefore, the easier one to get to. Is that correct?

Thanks again,
Jay
