Exhaust driving me nuts

By Gorveatt
- Mon Dec 17, 2007 11:11 pm #34446 ever since i got a new cat converter my exhaust has had nothing but issues, first it was a series of issues with the bolts holding the cat to the down pipe just coming lose and falling out. as well as an issue with it constantly rattling, it was hitting the gas tank and the mounting point for the rear trailing arm.

Well we've managed to get the hitting the gas tank fixed, and the bolts coming out resolved. however, it is STILL hitting the mounting point for the trailing arm. IT only happens when i accelerate hard, or take a left turn from a stop... and it's going to ware a hole in it if i don't fix it

i know it was cause by the cat cause it was about half an inch shorter then the cat delete i had. now i've been tossing the idea of getting a high flow cat, but i'm looking for one that is longer then the stock CX/DX one.

The one i have now is a Magnaflow OEM replacement. anyone know of one that i could get?

And i have the APEXi WS2 if that matters

The pipe we had in originally was a "custom" one, basically my oem exhaust didn't have a cat converter(but was suppose to) so we cut it up, put an end on it to bolt to the catback. and there you go, custom delete :lol:
