I just purchased the Kinetix highflow cats last week. I left my car at the muffler shop on Saturday. They gave a call and said that they would not fit. They told me that the cats are shorter than my stock cats, and that the bracket that is bolted to them will not bolt back up to Kinetix cats. Has anyone else had this problem? What is that bracket for? I spoke to Kinetix and they said that the muffler shop is wrong and that they would fit. Should I go ahead and have them installed?

 

I've had them on my car, and they will fit. The oem cat brace will not bolt to the kinetix, but they will still fit. However, I experienced major rubbing of the driver's side cat against the frame of the car, even after I removed the heat shield.
