Niiiiiice man!

I got the hooker cat-back as well... and a universal 3" catco cat from eBay as well... but I cant figure out how I'm supposed to use the old exhaust hangar, without welding a new one on so I can drive this thing around. lol

How'd you do it? lol.

The stock cat hanger? I eventually had it welded, but prior to that I was using muffler strapping.

Damn !


I've been having problems with hooking up my "universal cat" to the hooker i-pipe.

The Y pipe (SLP 1 5/8" ) comes straight out at the collector (points directly at the passenger rear tire), and with the universal cat, it just points straight at the passenger rear tire as well.

The y-pipe DOESNT come close enough to the cat (by about a foot) and is coming at it from the wrong angle.

Got any pictures of your exhaust? Specifically where the cat connects to the y and i pipes,


Thanks Token, you're invaluable lol.
