MotoBlue High Flow Cat Pipes
I've been searching for high flow cats that will be an easy install for our S197's for awhile andfound these...
First item on page.
http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05gtwip.htm
With these, I don't have to go to a muffler shop at all. I can installthem at home. In California, it's illegal to change cats on a new car unless there was something wrong with the cats so finding a muffler shop that will install aftermarket high flow cats might be tough.
They say it's an upgrade for aftermarket X-pipes but looks like it will work with our stock H-pipes too. Just cut the stock mid pipe where the high flow cats would go, remove the stock cat sections and bolt these in its place. What do y'all think? Would it work? Also, wouldn't I need O2 sensor extensions? These come with 02 sensor bungs while most aftermarket high flow cats for S197's do not.

Stay away from rpm outlet.
Why do all the cutting and hacking when they sell complete sections with the high flow cats for not much more $$? Then you dont have to worry about chopping things up and you can take it back to stock on a whim

I wouldn't use them, not only from the complaints from here but here is the BBB report on them.

Some people have had good experiences, but the majority have gotten shafted in one way or another. There's more bad stories out there than good, and there's plenty.
Stay far, far away from RPM Outlet.
Can we make that a sticky announcement?

RE: MotoBlue High Flow Cat Pipes
That's odd...the link I posted of the high flow cats as being the first item on that page has changed. It now shows the X-pipes as the first item. I can't find just the high flow cats now. There's the high flow cats with X-pipes on that page but it's not the one I originally saw. Anyway, thanks for the input everyone. Guess I won't be buying from them.
