I need to replace the 'main' cat on my '96 LX (w/2.5L V6, ATX) and don't want to drop the $600-$800 that Midas is asking, are there any local choices (that will etest ok)? FWIW, I've found the BAT/SP Motorsports/Performance Fords/CTA Motorsports offerings - has any one here had any experience with any of these parts (ypipes & downtubes w/cat attached)? I'm not looking for a 'hot' setup, just one that's etestable... I've also recently dropped a few hundred on getting the exhaust system "whole-free" recently (back of the cat), so the thought of a "chop and weld" install (for a generic converter ala MagnaFlow) isn't too appealing. Thanks in advance! Cheers, -- Terry McG

They used to recommend Dan's Muffler and Brake out in Metcalfe for the install. Not sure if they still do. 98 Silver Frost SVT 97 BMW 540I Sport, six speed "Blue is for sky, black is for soil, and white is for simplicity, purity and hope for the future" "A coveted car should never stunt your life, but should make it more rich and interesting."
