Many shops will in fact be able to lift a car as low as 2.5 inches off the ground... just gotta find the right ones.

Corner 3 Garage in other hand should have absolutely no problems dealing with such tasks you're asking for.

Good luck.

In fact they just listed the product number last week after receiving
certification from the state....no easy task! I'll be getting a set but they're
not on my list of mods for a few months....

Off topic, but was your G parked at MCRD last Sunday? I ask because of the gunmetal OEM 19s.

From what I remember, changing the cats at all unless they are faulty is not legal. It's one of those things you aren't supposed to change unless it's broken, even though there are high flow cats that are legal to use... they aren't legally supposed to be changed. Like I said, just what I remember reading a while back when I was browsing through the CARB laws, could be wrong or things could have changed.

Yea, $1300 is kinda steep for HFCs but that's full blown retail. MY guess is
one of our sponsors will get them to us at about half that price....with luck!
On the bright side if we can get them cheaper they do come with the much
needed CARB sticker.
You right Zack, but I took a vacation in Mexico and got a tank of very poor
quality gas and it plugged up my OEM converters. And when I replaced them
I had the factory cats recycled....I'm a green kinda guy!

Link to aftermarket systems.....from CARB

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

Can I replace the OEM catalytic converter on my car with a "high flow" catalytic converter?

The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emissions reduction of a motor vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer has matched a specific catalytic converter to the vehicle to minimize emissions output. Both CARB and the EPA do not allow the replacement of a catalytic converter with non-exempt "high flow" performance replacement unit. In fact, it is technically not legal to even replace a converter unless it has been proven by technician to have failed, and then it can only be replaced with an exempt OEM equivalent unit. (However, enforcement of this requirement is almost non-existent and is the primary loop-hole that allows the usage of so-called "high flow" catalytic converters. Many of these units are sold with the disclaimer as being a "race" component and are not intended for street use.) Due to the hundreds of vehicle models produced over the years, it is virtually impossible to determine by glancing under a car whether the converter is the original unit, a legal OEM replacement, or a non-legal aftermarket "high flow" performance unit. Unless CARB or the EPA decide to take more aggressive enforcement action, the installation and usage of these non-exempt "high flow" catalytic converters will likely continue.

Thanks to google.....

umm i hope u dont have ur y-pipe connected to oem midpipe? cuz outlet of the y-pipe is 3.0'' and the oem midpipe inlet is 2.5'' that means u have a larger pipe dumping into a smaller pipe ur prolly loosing a crap load of torque+horses. i learned that the hard way. u can have a 2.5 dump into a 3.0 never the other way around tho.
