Need some advice friends. I'm about to replace the (slightly damaged) main cat on my '95 Duratec with a low cost hi-flow unit, so I'd like to remove the stock resonator while the car's at the muffler shop also. Sooooo, what would your suggestions be for......
A. Replacement of the cat. (Something cheap, please.)
B. The removal of the res. I'd consider going the straight-pipe route, but I'm sure the drone/rasp would annoy me. There are numerous threads on all the types of replacements concerning this, but all the past info is more confusing than helpful. (Again, I'd like something inexpensive, so I'm thinking no more than $50 for a new center res/muffler. Quieter is better, by the way.)
C. Finally, what would it be like removing the main muffler? Too loud, or would the new center res/muffler be suffice? I'm curious.
My main need here is the replacement cat (I'm figuring no more than $200 parts and labor, right?) so I may only have that done this go round. But I'm hopeful I can get a little mod work done on my baby while she's up on the racks at Mr. Muff. We'll see.....
Thanks in advance!
