Yeah install prices range wildly but usually fall in the price range of $100-250

I bought these Pypes Hi Flow Cats to replace my bad cat. Good idea?

The stock cats are 2.25" inlet/outlet. Any really good shop that welds exhaust systems custom are not cheap, ever.
-I would replace these exhaust items in two's. Both O2 sensors, both cats. And if that's the case, have them replace all 4 of the old cats with two new ones listed above in the links. Two of these cats (Above) will pass any state emissions testing.

Okay so guys, I installed ONE CAT with Pypes Hi Flo.. The other one will cost 80 bucks to install so I have to wait. So I'm one step closer to just buying the muffler and also putting it! lol.

My car, two days ago, the tailpipe came loose from the muffler on the passengers side. It's still hanging in place, just separated it's self from the muffler. The cars exhaust is loud as **** now, really loud. Removing just that one piece of tailpipe makes a huge difference.
Anyway, it sounds really good like it is. I have gotten more compliments about the car the pat 2 days than the last 2 years. I might go ahead and record it because it sounds good and think about changes to the piping too. Crazy.
