Where can I get a cheap cat, one that has the bolt on flanges?

[lbrowne]

I see tons of catalytic converters on ebay but they all have that straight pipe ends instead of the bolt up flanges like seen on the stock cat or the test pipe you can buy on ebay.

Anyone know where I can get one or am I stuck with getting the straight flange and having it welded...

thanks,

Pepboys said they would have to order one for me. A local parts shop called AA Foreign Car Parts had one for me the next day for something like $120 with new gaskets. Not too bad a deal I think.

Get a catco cat. I paid 120 on sale(dont know if it still is) got a few ponies and it bolted right in, They only problem was the old one took 2 days to get off. I am very pleased it even came w/ stainless steel bolts so I dont have to worry about another 2 day exhaust project. I think I got it from.http://www.sr20detperformance.com or http://www.optauto.comdunno but I know the OEM one was more expensive.dont buy crappy parts off e-bay, but there are some good ones if you really look.

Ya know, if I did throw the extra cash for the bolt on one it would probably be about the same price as the cheaper one fmr ebay since i would have to bring the cheaper ebay one to a shop to get welded on....

hrmmmmmm :thinker
