How much will Jim charge for this work? Ya, I'll call him and ask. Just thought someone had done this and know a ballpark... I know of a cool muffler shop in Crystal Lake that will replace the cat for $50.

I ended up buying a Magnaflow (Carsound) cat. Hope it lasts longer than the RT. The RT cats I['ve had seemed to die a little young!? Happened twice to me.

Well, I couldnt stand the rattle anymore so I did something about it :ph34r: . What sucks is that my new cat came in the mail today <_< .

One R/T lasted about 2 - 2.5 years. The two round filtration elements were no longer in there correct position inside the housing and were bouncing around causing the rattle.

The other R/T lasted about 1.5 - 2 years. It did NOT rattle on the road, but when the car was hoisted up and the cat shaken -you can hear the elements not in place.

If I had a band wagon (and I dont :rolleyes: ), I would start a R/T downpipe-cats suck!

I didnt expect them to last long to tell you the truth. Look how small and wimpy those cats look. Meant for peformance, and not longevity imo.
