OEM cat or muffler shop cats cost a decent amout. so i was like hey check ebay! I ordered a Catco high flow cat for $45 shipped. im waiting for it it arrive.

well...........I always thought 240sx were suppose to be reliable and dependable. At least nothin major has gone wrong(knock on wood) just that and a replacement starter. haha i actully sold my Subaru SVX thinkin its not as reliable in order to get my s14.. damn i miss that subbie

the cars can be quite reliable to an extent but a lot aren't. ive noticed on every car my family has owned that the cat is the first thing to go. not sure why but i guess the gasses jsut eat it away, ive gone through 3 on my accord in the past 1yr 1/2
