Hey Serg that is my original Y-Pipe Assy.. Those in the picture ran me around 150.00 (OBD2 Compliant) ..With the install though .. The problem with ordering them off the web is that unless u can weld u will need to find someone to install them. I believe that Joey had a friend who was a welder ... I on the other hand do not know a welder (well there was this one guy but he had dog biscuits and never mind) .. So walking up to a muffler shop and handing them two cats was not possible for me b/c they all wanted to sell me some of their own goods.. I presume for the mark up?? Also, if I could make a recommendation.. I would remove the 02 sensors as well before you install the new assy/cats. I toasted one of mine because I failed to remove them before I had the welding job done...

I already been down the road at muffler shops
60-75$ for welding both on. They were ready to sell me ones from stock but i told them that i consider 140$/piece,even for magnaflow a wee bit steep So we agreed that i will bring me own and they will weld it on.
Now if only i can get groaning sound sorted out - i'd be happy as pig in blanky

Red: "We are now see that you are truly deserving"
Zim: "Yes. Yes i am")
Its just sheer luck of having 3 shops in walking distance (<10min) and living in small city. They know that if they wont do it - i just will go to welding shop Still kills me how much they wanted for converter though.. Free market

Ok.. anyone know good and easy way to cut oil filter open? I am all curios - just finished engine flush and old K&N draining in garage, waiting to be opened and inspected
Huge thanks both Mikes for telling me part# for long K&N filter - i installed it - we shall see if it does any better.
Something apparently been blocked b/c noise slowly going away after flush and oil change. Still getting some noises from idle tensioner pulley - can someone share how bloody thing can be rebuilt? I remember seeing something about going to NAPA store and getting bearings or something.. But its been too long ago.
Cats been ordered and allegedly dropped to UPS today with ground service. Depending on where them completeexhaust folkz sitting it may take a while to get things here, but i am looking forward to fix that issue..
And i finally got around to set up rev limits to 5.500 Rpms.. we shall see how it will work out..

Hey sergei,
NAPA #6203RSJ
for the idler pulley bearing, should be $6.50 or $11 seems to be the two prices NAPA is selling them at.
When mine went out it sounded like an electric motor being spun out, kind of like a dot matrix printer I suppose.

Cat replacement
Uzbad, the Car Sound cats were 2 1/4" x 16" long, flat style like the one on the right side. The down pipe after the O2 is 2.100" OD, you will have to flair the end to fit the cats (slip inside).The right cat fits tight, 1/4" from the frame and 1/2" from the drive shaft. The left cats flat also but replaces the round beer can of Rovers. On the left cat the stub was shortened because the O2 is close. The left cat was rolled app 40 degrees from vertical to get clearance between the heat shield and sway-bar. After the cats you'll need two stubs app 6" long with app 8 and 11 degree bend at the cat exit to line up with the existing pipe (Y). The only numbers on the cats are production codes no model numbers. The real low smog numbers i posted are with O2 senders that have 93,000 miles on them. My muffler and pipe supplier sold me the cats $ 53.00 each cash and carry, i have Mig and Tig, easy repair. While the Y pipe is off look at the port area with a old gasket, theres room for improvement with the grinder inside the flange and inside the exhaust manifold.
If you want to get sick look at the port misalignment between intake and heads. Hope this helps, Carl.....................o&o>.................................

Justin - thanks, man! Appreciate that! I'll also try to X-reference it with timken chums - as i got distributor right down the street from office.. And NAPA is like 7 mins drive
Carl - thanks, i ordered 9400 series ones, seeing that this was exact same ones that muffler shop tried to sell me. They will weld it on, seeing that i dont have any good welding exp. and i dont mine coughing up money for that kind of job, seeing i definetly dont want learn how to weld on my Y-pipe Only thing i really like them to do, while they are at it is to take cross-member off and replace bloody transmission filter. So i am may be looking at extra hundred or so on top.. We shall see May be i will chicken out from spending those money till later.
