Default Wes, not bustin your onions but cat failures due to install failures?

Meaning what, are the techs smashing the cats with hammers to install the downpipes? Because exactly how can one make the cats fail during installation.

Unbolt the stockers, lift new downpipes into position and replace nuts onto manifold studs. Unless they are dropped or seriously mistreated, there is no way they should fail from installation.

-Or are they that delicate?

Anyways, shoot me an email later and we can finish up our discussions and I'll get you sorted out.

-Mark

Default Thanks Mark. Actually, I'm not entirely sure how the install would lead to cat failure...

this is simply what I remember from my conversation with Strat. Basically, they were saying that they had a very limited number of cats go bad, but that they think they can be attributed to a bad install. These were Strat's words, not mine. ;-)

I'll give you a buzz this week. Been super hectic at work lately. Thanks for keeping me in mind! :-D
