    In the market for a direct fit catalytic converter.. but I was wondering where I should get it from or if there is something else I should get instead. Right now the car has an SES light for the catalyst system bank 1. Just want the light to be off.

    Buy some new headers and then a cat back. Get a new tuned PCM from Reptile. You'll be goldy locks.


    Or just delete it from the PCM ?

    If you dont plan on modding the car at all, just get the one you dad can, that is cheaper than an aftermarket one.

    But if I get headers I wont need the cat? or I still will? And also what does the down pipe do? Is it the area where the stock converter would be?

    You wont need the cat converter. But your ses light will most likely stay on unless u get the conv or delete it. the cat conv comes into play after the flex pipe.

    What would i get in place of the cat converter? And how would you delete it, do you need a tuner? Or do you get those fake sensors from ZZP?

    Question one:

    Do you plan to stay stock?

    If yes, get the one from your dads work

    Question two: do you have tail pipe e-tests

    If yes, get the one from your dads work.
