RE: Back from the shop!
I beleive the N75 stock valve can go bad quickly and I had the forge diverter but didnt like it cuz the diaphram kept tearing not matter which spring I used. So I went to the Bailey diverte which has a hard diaphram. But I think it was the N75 valve that i replaced when I chipped my car.

"They also told me that a new cat would be around $800 dollars!!!?? Is that **** made of gold?! "
Nope, not gold, more expensive precious metals..... : )
"How Catalytic Converters Reduce Pollution
Most modern cars are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. "Three-way" refers to the three regulated emissions it helps to reduce -- carbon monoxide, VOCs and NOx molecules. The converter uses two different types of catalysts, a reduction catalyst and an oxidation catalyst. Both types consist of a ceramic structure coated with a metal catalyst, usually platinum, rhodium and/or palladium. The idea is to create a structure that exposes the maximum surface area of catalyst to the exhaust stream, while also minimizing the amount of catalyst required (they are very expensive). "

I dont understand that, when I bought my Techtonic down pipe a couple of years ago it came with a highflow cat and the pipe was only 300 or 400, I cant remmber which. For 800 you can get the cat back.
