Are these OEM cats or HFC? (Pics)
Well like i said im new to my car and got it last month and dont know what has been modded. The guy who was the 2nd owner said he has not modded the car.
When i was doing the oil change this afternoon i saw the CATS which looks like an after market HFC and i try to find how does the OEM Cats look like but mine doesnt look OEM.

If its an aftermarket what is it called?
I have an 06 6MT Coupe and this is what i saw under my car.
Sorry i am very noooooob

Stock cats (heat shields are the dead give-away) AND stock Y-Pipe.

Heat shields are NOT a dead giveaway. And What does a stock y-pipe have to do with anything? A stock y-pipe does not definitely indicate stock cats. Hell, I ran HFCs w/ a stock y-pipe for awhile.

Some HFCs do have heat shields.

Crawford Z, for example.

With that all said, the cats in the picture are indeed stock.

^Wasn't aware Crawford came with heat shields. Those HFC are stealth to the one's I know about, nice.

The heat shields I was referring to are a dead-giveaway as being the OEM type.

OP didn't know what kind of cats he had. OP probably didn't know that was a OEM Y-Pipe too, being he said he was a noob. What's the harm in mentioning that for his behalf? Chill out Bro. We're all here to share knowledge and learn from one another....not to bash/attack one another.

Peace
