Title: Has anyone upgraded the stock M42 catalytic converter to a high flow aftermarket unit
Post by: Cobra Jet on May 21, 2009, 09:57:19 AM

Has anyone removed the large, bulky & restrictive stock M42 catalytic converter and replaced it w/ a higher flowing single aftermarket cat?

If so, what brand/type?  What was the inner/outer diameters of the inlet/outlet on the aftermarket for an easy "plug-n-play" back onto the stock mid pipe?  Where to buy for a reasonable price?

Thanks!
