i am having trouble finding replacement cats. all the ones i see do not look like mine. both of mine are angled. i tried to get some clear pics of them but was not able to get any "good" pics. i will post the best ones tho.

i have saw some direct bolt on ones, but they dont even look like mine (angled). which i would rather not spend $200+ (each) on the direct fits so i was looking for just the cats but cant find the ones like i have. from looking under there, there isnt much room to fab anything up going a different route. so im looking for some suggestions, links, ect...

i was going to run up to summit and pick up some magnaflows till i crawled under there and saw that they might not fit. so i am at a stand still till i get some opinions/recommendations.

ehh, im probably just going to spring for the direct fit ones.

im ordering within the next week, so if anyone has any links/recommendations before then, feel free to reply. if not direct fit i guess.
 






why not just weld a mandrel bent elbow in front of a standard one???

im just gonna go with 2 of these (see link) i didnt even think bout checking rockauto till i decided to get all 4 o2's and a few other things. but i saw that cat in there and that is the closest im going to get and its wayyyyyy cheaper than a direct fit :D. im glad i decided to check rockauto for the other items i needed.

ehh might as well get new plugs, wires and coil too.

yea im knocking off almost $30 on my order with that 5%, a little more if i spring for the coil, plugs -n- Wires which i should.
