I just need some el cheapos to get me through the visual inspections.

I'd rather not gut one, but get really small ones that are somewhat functional.

You guys know where I can get a couple on line?

Thanks.

well catco is an option, or check with a local speed shop. They'll probably be able to help you out.

Thanks for the insight.

I went to the local speed shop and they want 150.00 each for the "car sound" cats, stainless. The thing is I don't necessarily need SS cats. A little high I thought. The search continues!!!!

If your not running long tubes then why not just swap in a catted pipe for inspection time.

I'd like to find some heat shields. That way you can tack them onto the pipe and leave them there all the time..
