I don't think i have a choice, I just replaced one (one closest to the firewall), and i think it's clogged again. And i can't afford another. I'm gonna do the intake manifold/secondaries cleaning to fix the root problem, but i don't think the cat issue will clear itself up on its own.

Sometimes people can only spend what they have...buying MSDS headders is exoensive...even with a group buy. Some would rather sped the time than the money. Good Luck...Im doing mine this weekeend.....My MSDS headders got stolen form my back yard when i was chaging the gasjets....I left for 15 min to get food.

as long as you dont have a problem getting the y-pipe off its really easy i didnt even take them off of the car i know its not the recomended way but i couldnt get them off, as long as you have a shop vac i dont see a problem
