Only real option for us y33 owners:

Beautiful exhaust, great price.

There are 2 cats, 2 are resonators.

Seriously - call them, $550 for all new pipes WITH cats, stainless steel. Perfect fit for my 2000 q45. Awesome setup!

Is part number 4 above the same as this part below?

Sunrise states that they are the same, however I wanted to confirm.


Thanks

Sunrise is correct. The eBay listing is for the driver's side catalytic converter pipe, including the brackets to mount to the transmission mount.

You got it!

Great stuff, you won't regret it. I've driven a few thousand miles, it comes with all gaskets also.

I DID have to use some liquid exhaust sealant on the mid joint passenger side. This may or may not have been the fault of the exhaust, but the first time I assembled it I had an audible leak. Gooped it up, let it sit overnight, started silently.

Paranoidjack,

Did you reuse or replace the O2 Sensors? If you replaced them, where did you buy them?

Thanks for your help

Always call because in the past, the wrong O2 sensors have been listed on the website.

They also have been known to extend a discount to Nico Club members.
