Third catalytic converter (middle) replacement options?
Hi all,
Does anyone know if a universal catalytic converter can fit in this spot? I can't for the life of me find this part by itself. It always comes with the two other catalytic converters and it also cost a pretty penny.
I am taking off the custom exhaust on the car, as the whole car is going back to stock (wheels, exhaust, suspension and all). I do not have this third catalytic converter shown in the picture. It was replaced on my current exhaust with an X-Pipe.
Will leaving this part out make the car loud? I reckon I had seen a video of just the third cat deleted, with all the stock mufflers and resonators still there, and it sounded like a muffler delete to be honest? I want to try and avoid that, so I need get a replacement part.
Since it is a secondary CAT you should be good to replace it with any general purpose CAT that has the same size fittings as the exhaust pipe at that point.
It does have an effect on the noise level as all CATs reduce the sound levels.
If you don't care about the emissions you can just fit a similar sized muffler with adequate flow into that position.
