Cats for Speed Engineering LT headers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Chapa3 · 01-18-2016, 01:22 PM

Anyone know where I can buy just cats that would work with my headers? A dealership docked me quite a bit for not having them, so I figured i'd just throw some on.
Doesn't necessarily have to be high-flo cats.

Thanks

You should be able to take one of those cat delete pipes to any exhaust shop and have them fab a set that will bolt right into place.

Scrounge around for some oem cats, hack it and make it fit if you are trading it in. Or summit, jegs etc will have cheap 49state cats.

How did they "dock you"? Other than possibly voiding certain warranty repairs as a result of having no cats there's no way they can 'dock you'. You definitely wouldn't want to take the car to a dealership to trade it in with ANY of the emission components not installed, and long tube headers are a liability for them as well. That's just common sense right there...

I used Texas Speed's cats, fit perfect. You have to call them to order them, not available from their site.

We can help. A lot of companies have copied TSP parts but without the nice collectors, upgraded velocity spikes & with thinner seamed tubing....

The TSP stuff only features top quality material which is why there's such a good warranty!

It had been a while and I hadn't given it much thought. So I had completely forgot about my lack of cats until I went to trade it in. Fortunately they said if I took them all the OEM parts(which I still have) they wouldn't dock me any on my trade. I feel like they still were though, which is understandable since they have to pay a tech to put the OEM headers back on.

I figured I'd just throw some cats on there to avoid this problem if I eventually try to trade it in again.

Do this. I think it's what I'm going to do. Besides, the stock cats are like 100 times more durable than anything out there in the aftermarket. Just use the large front cat from the stock down pipe.

Lol wtf no don't cut up OEM cats and slap it on like that. Just buy the highflow cats made for it. It's not even that expensive.
