I'm installing my fast intention high flow cats. I just noticed that the HFC dont have a place for the support bracket.

Any idea how I can do it?

I had this very same question a few weekends ago. I contacted the manufacturer. The only reason for that support is due to the heft of the stock cats. I'm sure you noticed the difference in weight. The new cats don't need it as long as your Y pipe has the expansion joints and ours do.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

I had them done around 11 pm lol. It was much easier than expected (minus removing the O2 sensors, that was biitch).

Thanks again!

Sorry Sam forgot to mention you don't need support on these. How do you like them so far?
