Default Wanted: exhaust bits

I am looking for exhaust mounting hardware to purchase.

Cat to muffler clamps, doughnuts
Cat mounting straps
heater ducting hoses (two oval orange shaped connections that connect the heat exchangers to the cast ally heater ducting above the cats)

Anyone have such items for sale?

Thanks

Hi Doug

Well, a number of things really. And still getting there, you know.

As for the overboosting and subsequent fuel cut, resetting the boost controller (Greddy) settings back to mfg recommended start settings, then slowly creeping the settings back up a little at a time, the car responds nicely. Currently seeing .85 max is enough for me until I learn more about this car. I am still not certain about the aftermarket boost controller.

I am amazed at how quickly boost builds. Hard to describe.

Hi Andy,

Once I get 'normal' exhaust on this car, I may offer these for sale. I would, however, like to trade for some muffler bypasses.

I thought about getting a set of those. No emissions here in PC. I get a good enough growl from the MBPs though. I don't think I want any louder.

Chris,
Are the non-turbo & turbo cat mounting straps the same? If so, I have an extra set and can send them your way.

Chris, does this mean you got your hands on the cats?
Hopefully yes!

Still collecting exhaust bits -- just to get it smogged then I will look into a great sounding system, aftermarket or modified standard bits.

Curious if anyone has the clamps and doughnuts that couple the cat to the mufflers, then mufflers to the tips. Anyone have such bits and pieces laying around? Dealer is backordered for months on the clamps and doughnuts
