after i drive for a bit i get this nasty rattleing noise comeing from the Cat, i was told its probally just the filters busting loose and rattling around. i dont have to deal with emmision tests so..... if i yank teh Cat off and gut it would that solve my problem, iam not going to pay 109 bucks for a new one and all the junk yards around here dont have one,, any suggestions??

 

Just yank it off. Thats what I did, makes a world of difference.

 

so ur saying just yank the whole piece off and put a stright put through???? how about if i got the cat and put a pipe through that, iam about to loose my income in a month i cant deal with a fine

 

That will work just as good!

Yea, real simple go get a new one for $59.
I got a Performance for Power one, 2 1/2" in n out from Don's Hot Rod Shop in Tuscona AZ
800-888-8892
Got one from him about 10 years ago & it still passes smog.
He still sells them for the same price.
It's much easier to keep the car smog leagl and performing well at same time.
These cats flow very, very well.
Spend the few $$, it's in your favor.
