Probably a mistake, but OEM cats can nevertheless get expensive.

Even aftermarket cats down here where I live run $300 to $400 USD, ended up getting a larger one in the U.S. for $95 USD and having it shipped down.

I am guessing they misplaced the decimal point. Some clerk was probably hungover on a Monday morning typing that value into their system. I bet they meant $1,122.16.

Its too bad good metal-substrate cats weren't cheaper. If I wasn't deathly afraid of Captain Planet, I would go cat-less. Lord knows the moment I would, there would be a hispanic boy with a monkey on his shoulder in the car next to me summoning "Heart" and my impending doom.

i almost got those for my car.

but then i brought it up to the rest of Club Lexus and supposedly high flow magnaflows are not as good as stock ones.

i got spanked for even bringing it up, i dont know the facts but i remember no one agreeing with me lol.

if its a daily car i wouldn't change the cats, you're gonna have trouble with emissions if you start deleting cats. otherwise knock yourself out as a offroad car, or prepare to cheat the system. some shops won't mess with your exhaust by deleting cats if you don't either know them well or pay them more b/c it makes them liable for messing with emissions.

i'd say each cat would prob make a negative 1 or 2 horses each anyways.

Here's the rundown--

Apparently the stock 2.5" cats flow real nice and shouldn't be messed with unless you're building a totally custom exhuast, and need different flanges or something...
