if it is what most ebay high flow cats are... and for $40 bucks shipped it prob is..... its just a resinator with the correct ends on it. and any shop wont remove your catilitic converter and replace it with a resinator becuase its illegal. so you can try, but worse case.... like what happened to me, is i put it on in there shop and they tightened the bolts

The cat is melted, and was red hot after I got off the freeway and I knew that wasnt a good sign, I am not looking to gain anything, and I know it will sound like crap ( my flowmaster has no rasp) but gutting it prob will make it sound like shiznit, this is only temporary, till I can get some cash to get a high flow cat.
P.S. Dont worry I wont sniff the dust.... And I guess he didnt buy the cat he got it from the yard, it looks like its true because it has brand new bolts holding it on, and some of the fins on the upper side are bent (like it was on the ground and steped on).
Guttin it sounds easy enuff, just didnt want to do somthin wrong. Thanks

Ick, what are u talkin about, my exhaust sounds better than most, its never raspy (except for the first week), and then it broke in, and its not to loud, and it dont sound like (ick)..... If thats what u think it sounds like, you have never heard a flowmaster catback sys. on a D16Z6.....
