I knew my catalysts were a little plugged, and after debating whether or not to delete them, I decided to give the folks at Magnaflow some of my hard-earned American Dollars. My order showed up last Wednesday, but I just had time to install today:
The install was fun filled and exciting as you would expect, but I'm pleased with the results (I know, I hadn't tightened the clamp when I took these pics):
To speed up the job and make it easier to to reach some of the bolts and what-not, I used my reciprocating saw to cut the old system in a few key places. This also gave me the chance to look at the old catalysts.
Fist catalyst:
And part of the second catalyst:
Yeah, I'm thinking it was a good call to replace them.
Now I just need to decide which muffler to go with and get it all finished.
