Anyone have a used converter for a 348?

Remove both cats Rodney and smash out the insides (honeycomb) and refit.
As long as you do not have to have yearly emissions tests performed in your State, then you will be right.

 

I think a better option is to buy some test pipes.

 

That too........

 

I would hate to see you be in a situation in where the cat hads to be reinstalled. Spend a little $ now or big $$ later.

 

Haha!! Yeah, but if one is already ****ed, then smash the rest of it out and refit.
A friend of mine had a melted cat the other day on his Skyline. He smashed out the melted crap and bolted it back on.
We do not have yearly emissons tests here, so no chance of getting in trouble for it. Other Countries emission rules vary, of course. Not that I totally recommend doing it this way, but it can be done.

 

One other consideration -- it's not just what your particular emissions testing is. When you are ready to sell the car, you'll likely need to refit working cats for many buyers. Not every prospective buyer lives in a 'testing free' zone, or choses to run pipes. I think pipes are great, but they do cause more trouble at re-sale time. Whether it's the labor to refit cats, or marketing to a smaller pool of potential buyers, it's just something to consider.

 

So has anyone yet tried the Canadian Stebro cats (claimed +9hp) for our 348's?

I have a set of good cats and a spyder muffler I can sell you. With the test pipes and the muffler it sounded excellent. (Not annoying, but commanding) I had already ordered my x-ost, otherwise I might have just left it at that. You can buzz be on the cell or send a pm, Scott

 

If he is not interested. I may be.

 

Seems like a great price. Thanks for the info.
