Default Latest surprise from my new 951

Noticed at the Bavarian Hyper Sports Dynoday on Saturday that I don't have a cat. Now, there's a nice Bursch 3" test pipe in its place, but TX likes our cars to have cats, from what I hear...

Soooo, anybody out there got a cat suitable for a turbo? Called Partsheaven, but their universal cat apparently doesn't work on turbos, from what they tell me. I noticed Paragon has a 'high performance' cat for turbos ($395), might this be the way to go?

I don't know about the cat, but are you gonna sell the test pipe?

Probably will, got a lot of other projects though so I don't know how soon I'll be taking it off. Want to figure out how crazy to go with potential exhaust upgrades, i.e. Lindsey, SFR, etc.

Check http://www.discountconverter.com/
They do a bunch of universal fit converters and have come recommended from a few people on the Quattro List. Quite a few options, including some hi-flo DynoMax ones. Good prices from what I remember, but no direct experiences with them.

I've got a good cat and pipe I'll trade you for your 3" test pipe. Shipping might be a bitch though.

Hmmmm, Kevin...you make a very interesting offer. A local guy here in Houston just shipped a cat out (I think), I'll ask him what shipping was.

That was me. UPS will take it, but packaging is a bit of a PITA. Used lots of bubble wrap. I think it was around $20 to ship it.

I had that thing for a year and nobody needed it. You've got bad timing.

Is it defiantly a 3"? I'll do it if you want. Packaging is what I was worried about. Let me know. PM me or email me if you want.
