Catalytic Converter

kenny ,
if the cats were "cut in", what position would that leave me in when the factory cats come in, and the dealer installs them. im thinking thats the dealers hangup. i thouht there were flanges on each end on our factory cats. looking at the drawing you posted, i dont see what their problem would be either. and the guy i talked to at that number on the ad, had a cat without the stainless that he said would work. i gave the dealer all this same info, he said he would call me back if he found out they would
work.
isuzu does not know when they will start production on the re=engineerred cats.
isuzu will not tell me why they pulled all the cats off the shelves, leaving no parts redealy available for emmissions.
sigh................


tommorows friday, ..............time for another phone call, but armed with more info!!

thanks kenny,

nope, the stock is not flanged.


Once you have a Magnaflow cat, why go back to stock when it's available? If I understand you correctly...

that is what isuzu is wanting to do. they just want to get me on the road again with the aftermarket cats. i wont be holding my breath on the factory cats though, but yeah, they are replacing the aftermarkets, with new, re=engineered cats when they come in......go figure.......right now, id be happy with anything, as long as my vx is in my driveway again.........

cant you just replace them with a straight pipe???
at your local muff. shop

im not sure, but i think that would mess SOMETHING up. o2 sensors would never read right, i dont think, then you would have a constant cel light......no thanks....

without cats you would be putting out a whole lot more pollution... and it probably wouldnt pass any kind of emissions testing for states that have it
