Car is stock except for drop in K&N.

Just bought used fabspeed cats, diverter valves. and evoms intake system. Nothing is installed yet. I changed my mind of the intake and decided to keep the stock system w/filter..

I want to find an X-pipe system(used hopefully) that will mate up to my fabspeed cats. Then thinking of going to fftec for a flash.

Welcome. Put your stock paper filter back in. Put that K&N in the garbage. Your MAF will thank you.

I'm sure someone here probably has one that they will sell or give you. Or just buy one. You have to keep K&N filters oiled to filter HALF as good as the stock paper filter. Once that oil gets on the MAF, you will have issues...the extra couple HP isn't worth the aggravation. Many here are at or over 600whp with stock paper filter.

Are they the v-band cats that mate up to the x-flow exhaust?

Also, welcome and congrats on the purchase!

Good looking out!


My cats have a v-bend flange. Not sure which systems they will mate up with though..

I JUST got in a Fabspeed x-flow exhaust that I bought from a 6speed member. I MAY be looking for cats for the thing if the catless pipes I have are too loud. I was debating on having some made or buying some from a vendor. Not sure yet.

Keep me posted if you decide you have no use for those cats, as I may be interested.
