Sorry to bother you guys can you tell me where the catalytic converter is located at? Also what would be a good method of cleaning the cat beside buying a new one. Thanks

It would be where the white circle is. That car doesn't have one. I've never seen a good way to clean them besides replacing or gutting them.

This. It's possible the PO removed the cats since all Z32's came with them. You can get Magnaflow universal ones (such as #53004 = 2 inch piping, or #53006 = 2.5 inch piping) for about $70/each shipped on ebay. Then you just need to have a shop weld them in.

Yeah it looks like they are running test pipes on there judging by the shiny metal up there. Magnaflow's aren't bad. If you're already spending the money I would go and get a high flow cat.
