I bought a Megan 3in cat back w/ a 3in test pipe for an SR and it bolted right up to the stock exhaust manifold.

[x Too Fly x]

ok thanx you all are giving me good advise. my catback comes in tha mial tuesday and ill put it on.

thanx again.

[x Too Fly x]

ooh does that mean i have to get a test pipe or sumthin.

[D-UNIT]

I couldn't say. I never had a cat so Idk. It should work though , because the manifold bolts and the cat out bolts are orientated the same way. So test pipe - no test pipe probaly doesn't matter. The reason I have a Tp is because I got as a combo deal for $400. I wouldn't have bought Megan otherwise , but I like it now.

ha yea i juss have a muffler now and it sounds really good.

but i decided to get an actual catback. but yea wen i get it i will throw it on.

[Ilvemynissan]

Be sure to post some pics after you got it on.

[x Too Fly x]

ok i wont and it didnt come in tha ups today so tommorow for sure!!

[x Too Fly x]

ok well tha bolts are too rusted to actually bolt off. so we dcided to grind em off. well we did and now we cant get them out of tha hole. hahah i dunt kno its kinda hard to explain!!!

[Ilvemynissan]

Drill it out? I don't really know man.

[x Too Fly x]

but if i drill it out ill put pics up for sure.

[x Too Fly x]

[Gabes13]

[x Too Fly x]

ha thanx and no i have megan springs.but it looks god and ill put pics on my other thread.tha one bout my 240.

[nismoracingsx]

same happened to me with my catback, i grinded the bolts off but ended up taking the car to a shop to have the holes drilled out, took them like 25 minutes though because the type of metal kept overheating the bit or some ish

[x Too Fly x]

ha yea they didnt even drill my holes big! it was like a medium size.

[nismoracingsx]

the large bolts that came with my catback wouldn't fit the converter's holes, so i just picked up a slightly smaller bolt @ advance and popped em in.

[x Too Fly x]

yea but now mine is like messin up. i have a leak and ima take it to a muffler shop!!

[80watthamster]

If things line up pretty close, you can try putting some muffler and tailpipe sealant on your gaskets (you did use gaskets, right?), or even alone. Use Permatex if you use anything.

[x Too Fly x]

ha well see here is wat happened wen i was bolting it up(i did use a gasket) but one bolt wouldnt fit and im lazy so i didnt want to drill tha hole bigger so i used a smaller bolt instead tha one they gave me! so now i have a lil leak! i think it wont bother too much but it should sound better if i get it fixed. am i right?

[Ilvemynissan]

If that's the problem then yah it will sound better when fixed. And just drill the hole it's not hard.

[x Too Fly x]

ha but it takes forever!! haha
