Catalytic Converter replacement recommendations...
Time to replace the cats in my son's '92. Passenger side CAT is disentegrating (marlbe sound with white "shreds" out the rear tailpipe). So what is the recommendation; a) replace with stock, b) replace with performance flow? I know where to get stock replacements - what brand of performance and source is recommended?
Must run with CATs so eliminating is not an option. Car currently has CAT's, resonator - muffler elimin's.

Try Fred at http://www.discountconverter.com. Have him get you some carsound bullet cats 2.5 in and 2.5 out. I think they were around $69 and some change.

I also noticed improved performance, maybe the old ones were clogged a bit.

I got mine there also about 3 years ago. Working great.

Re: Catalytic Converter replacement recommendations... (linkschamp)
I checked out the site, sent email and will call in the AM. Got a question though... the "direct fit" are $170 each - while the "universal" look like they require cutting into the stock exhaust. How do these get mounted into a stock exhaust system... wouldn't I be better off with their "direct replacement" units?? :smash:

If you have the stock manifolds, then you probably want to go with the direct fit cats, they have the same shape as the stock cats, just a little smaller. The stock cats are big, heavy and expensive.
