but didn't you have to do some welding to the cat? I'm assuming it doesn't bolt on to the flange on the shorty?





sounds expensive.
Yes I had to modify the cat for 2 reason. 1) the focus flange is a triangle and has 3 bolts and my mystique flange was an oval with 4 bolts soI got a machine shop to make me a focus flange becasue I couldnm't find on. 2) the magnaflow cat was to long so I chopped the pipes on each end of the cat by 1inch and then I got it angled so it fit in the factory loacation which aloud me to keep the downstream o2 sensor in it's factory location(I didn't feel likw splicing and extending it). The exhasut shop will also have to put a bung in the header and inpipe just behind the cat so you can put your o2 sensors back in.
