This may sound like a silly question but...
My TR8 needs new catalytic converters (they've got LOTS of miles on 'em
and their insides are really starting to rattle around a lot--its annoying).
In Texas, the cats HAVE to be there (even if they're non-functional).
Visual inspection only. No sniff tests here in TX (yet).
I thought about punching the insides out but I've heard that's hard to do
(and probably illegal too). TRF has cats but at like $600 a side,
no way!
Anyone know who makes aftermarket 'performance' catalytic converters?
I read in my "How to Build Horsepower" book (thanks John!) that the
newer cats have a decent free-flow honeycomb design. Anyone seen any
of these? Who can I call to ask? Any and all comments welcome (mail
'em to me direct if you'd like). Thanks.
Should I be asking this question to a real newsgroup?
