    Hi,

    I need some dead 550 cats if anyone want to sell them. I need to cannibalize the fittings off them for a project.

    Thanks!

    In my inebriated state, I totally misunderstood the thread title at first glance.

    Thought I had wandered into some dark pits of the Internet. Damn.

    We have machined bungs for Ferrari EGT sensors, if this is what you need - rather than trying to cut out used bungs.

    Thanks Chris but nope I'm trying to be lazy and cannibalizing the fittings and merge collector for my race exhaust. I know the OEM merge is not great but I'm looking for fast and easy for right now to get a race car on track.

    Chris,

    Do you guys have the cad files to make me the 2 into 1 merge collectors off the oem headers? They will go to straight pipes right out the back.

    I don't think we've ever had a 550 here. We have a '97 456 in the shop right now though. Here is the collector we made for that car - should be similar to the 550 right?

    This whole project came about because the customer bought X-OST pipes that are an abomination - just plain ugly stuff. And they set off the check engine light. So Fabspeed to the rescue.

    Would the book "101 uses for a dead cat" help?"
