Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Exhaust Questions

    1. I had to cut the bolts on my cat when I put my megan racing header on because they were so rusted. The cuts weren't perfect so I have a slight exhaust leak now. How free flowing is the stock cat? Is it worth keeping? Would it be worth getting an after market cat? Are the ebay ones good enough?

    A cat like this..

    2. Can I rip out the exhaust heat shield? It rattles like a bitch and I would love to just rip it out, does it really prevent that much heat? Would I cause any problems by removing it?

    *The heat shield under the car, not the the exhaust manifold shield.

    Thanks

            about your cat question

            the factory cat does restrict your exhaust so going with a " high flow" cat from e-bay is the way i went and i'm happy with it, besides a replacment cat is more expensive.

              No it doesn't unless your car runs like complete shit and clogged you cat, your better off keeping the stock one.

              MagnaFlow has some cats as well as CatCO IIRC
              wat?

                if ur stock cat isn't completly bagged out, u should be able to punch the studs in the cat out and replace them with bolts,nuts and lock washers...

                  I've never done exhaust work on my car, a new cat is just a bolt-on mod right? No cutting or welding?

                      Magnaflow makes replacement high flow cat. Ebay ones aren't true cats.

                        just to reiterate the heat shield question, i replaced my exhaust about a year ago and removed the heat shield....no problems for me either.

                          as for the cat, go with something worth the purchase, i had them ebay ones on my integra and it was ok, i now have the magnaflow cat on my cb7 and im glad i bought it..., the heat shield should be able to come off with a twist of a few bolts....
