What are peoples thoughts? What is the correct size to use with the stock exhaust system? I realise this will need to be welded in place. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/genuine-magnaflow-3...8QQcmdZViewItem Edited 03/02/08 04:19 AM by hanra

Contrary to what some may claim on ebay, this is not a high flow cat. Its OEM replacement type only, and flows approx 300 cfm in 3" in 3" out. Save your cash and get something else.Edit: I have found one Claim for the 54309M (M for metal) flowing 408 cfm however this is still far below the stock exhaust systems flow of 560 cfm so still not worth bothering with.http://www.car-sound.com/02product/universal/mirror.asp Edited 02/05/08 12:09 PM by RACEFPV
