I never thought of that. Do you think the hose clips would help hold the welds together?
Thanks for the advice, you bring up several good points. Cost wise, I definitely would like to try to repair/weld the cat if possible, but the...
Good point, I really haven't heard of cats cracking on the 430. Manifolds yes, but haven't heard about cats which was part of my reason for this...
Being out of warranty, I guess my next question is can an OEM cat be welded and repaired if cracked? As I know the price for a new OEM header...
Thanks for the clarification on the warranty.

Good point, in fact I was thinking about that recently as I am getting ready to install Fabspeed headers as I didn't want to be concerned about...
Thanks, I checked it out. The thing I don't see, and doesn't seem to be specified in any of the instructions, is how much to tighten the bolts...
Thanks for your insight and offer for the nuts, very kind of you! I have a follow up question, you mention the cupped caps on the springs should...
Thank you very much. I will definitely follow your advice and check the exhaust tips as well as I try to identify the source of the buzzing....
