Soon as they're available, I'm sure that somebody will bolt em on. Should be any day now...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Nope, I bought a magnaflow universal cat ane then cut the pipes on the cat to make it a bit shorter and so it would fit in the factory location instead of relocating it to under the car. I have pics of the header installed but it's kind of hard to see the cat, let me know if you still want the pics.

yea I wanna see...I'm pretty curious.
I guess if you have a header like the zxtuner one that comes in 2 different pieces you could add a cat after and then have a custom downpipe made.
I didn't know shops would mess with your cat.

If you have none, it's OK for them to install one. If you have one failing, they can replace it. Removing them is a big no-no.

I'm away for the weekdn put I will send u a pic as soon as I get back. My headers look like the escape headers (that funky deisign that comes up from the block) if you go to CTA Motorsports webpage and look under the foucs you will see the header its called the edelbrock shorty header.

oh yea a shorty header...I kinda would rather have one of those...would make it easier to add in a cat too.
but didn't you have to do some welding to the cat? I'm assuming it doesn't bolt on to the flange on the shorty?

Yes I had to modify the cat for 2 reason. 1) the focus flange is a triangle and has 3 bolts and my mystique flange was an oval with 4 bolts soI got a machine shop to make me a focus flange becasue I couldnm't find on. 2) the magnaflow cat was to long so I chopped the pipes on each end of the cat by 1inch and then I got it angled so it fit in the factory loacation which aloud me to keep the downstream o2 sensor in it's factory location(I didn't feel likw splicing and extending it). The exhasut shop will also have to put a bung in the header and inpipe just behind the cat so you can put your o2 sensors back in.
