[diamond]

A-1performance.comBeen around for a long time and have used them before

WOW 3 years is quite good life for aftermarket replacements, they are built so cheaply to just get thru an emission test......most only have a 25,000 mile warranty.

[elwesso]

Why not try and find a low mileage junk Q45 or J30 and salvage those.. Good build quality and even better flow!!! a Q45 cat should be suficient for your J30....

[diamond]

this one went about 65,000.thanks elwesso,but i will buy new.thanks aaa i go check it out.i was thinkin maybe random technology..sounds deeper,i like it ..but gotta fix,lol.

Diamond - I have Magnaflow high-flow cats for the Q... No cheap junk.

Do you need them to be bolt-in (flanged) or weld-in?

[diamond]

i just had some car sound magnaflows on it.are they the same thing.they would be welded in hitman.they would last longer,but she runs a little fast in the rpm department,,hehe.so who makes the magnaflow hitman,and how much..the shopi had do last time wants 150 a side for new installed,i could swear i got a way better deal last time,but i lost my reciept somehow.my lawyers got it ,dont ask.cause i was under servelance and it was in a box i was caring.it was the only thing in the box cause they wouldnt give me my oem cats back,so i took a box with me when i had it done to put them in.then i got home and they filmed me caring empty box,lol..so thats how my lawyer got it.boy i was caring about a few onces,lol.idiots.got a disabled parkin placard yesterday,come on.funny stuff

[diamond]

am,actually i forgot if there welded or flanged,manoman.i will check later today

[diamond]

oh mkan,looks like random sucks bigtime,...lots of bad reviews i must say,lol..i think i want to change the downpiping to.im sure thqat can be done local probubly.might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.hey hitman,are the q cats any bigger than the j's.and are the magnaflows by carsound,upon research,im kinda confused.so i tried carsound magnaflow.i dont want oem cause i feel the diff with high flow.thanks.if brm can make me a downpipe converter deal.id really like to look into that option.maybe the timing will work.hit me up hitman

[AZhitman]

Wow - I'm desperately trying to follow your posts, bro.

Here's what I can answer for you so far: Magnaflow makes their own cats. CarSound is a seperate (cheapo) company.

I'm not sure what you mean on changing your downpiping, we make a set of "test-pipes" (for off road use only) that eliminate the cats, but I think you'd be better off just replacing with the high-flow Magnaflow units.

[diamond]

hitman,im not as clear as i once was,sorry,.hard for me to read my own writing,lol.im forgetin how to spell pretty fast too.anywaY.what i mean by downpiping is the pipe between the header and cat...some componies make downpipes with cats on them..1 unit,but i think id rather have mine seperate,how much are test pipes,i might just do that,test..my glasspacks keep the car toned down pretty good.shoot me a pm hitman with the price for the magnaflows and the pipe ,,no hurry hitman,be 2 weeks till payday,only get paid once a month on pention..thanks hitman.

[diamond]

i will call stans headers in kent wa and see about down pipe.leter today i will see if flanged(cat)

[sijoko]

Car Sound is the parent company of MagnaFlow.

You can pick up Car Sound converters on Ebay for less than $60 each.

[diamond]

ya,they can be had pretty cheap i noticed.and i seamed to notice the parent company thing on the magnaflow site.i think i will run test pipes..

[AZhitman]

What year is your Q?

I'll get you a price on our test pipes....

[maxnix]

diamond was diamondJ30 before the hack.

[diamond]

there for my 97 j30 hitman,thanks.boy,this last month been a little spendy,just did new shoes and brakes.

[diamond]

oh manix,i was diamondj30 too.or am.i couldnt work it some time ago and my name was not being used at the time so i was able to just use my regular name without the j30.

[AZhitman]

Ah, I see...

I have nothing for the J30.

Sorry Diamond - I kinda thought it was you, but the talk of the Q45 earlier threw me off.

Good to see you on board.

[diamond]

n.p. hitman.im sure i can hook something up here.i will report back.do any of the qguys run without a cat.if so can someone share there experience,that would be awsome.

[diamond]

about time for some 02 sensors too.
