?Texas Speed True Duals?

[5.7NSIDE]

I was thinking about buying the true dual set up from Texas Speed, but the only problem is that it does not come with any catalytic converters. I was wondering if anybody has ever put a set of catalytic converters on with it or if it's even possible to do so? I don't know too much about cutting exhaust pipes or welding so any help would be appreciated.

why do you want cats? you got to pass the sniffer?

Yea. Good 'ol North Carolina. Anthing 96 or newer has to pass emisions. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't care. My last Trans Am was a 95 and it didn't have any cats on it and I loved it.

I was thinking about contacting Texas Speed and asking if they would weld on a set of cats to their true-dual system before shipping it out. Similar to what they have done with their Pacesetter Y-Pipe. Don't know, haven't closed the deal on the LS1 WS6 yet.

Yea I was gonna call them myself and see. It seems to me like they would offer it with the cats or without them because I'm sure I'm not the first person to need them.

Well I just got off the phone with the guy from Texas Speed and he said they do not offer it with cats, but he said that you could probably fit some on to it. I don't know though. It seems to me that if the cats would fit then they would already offer it with cats.

I had a set of highflow ones welded on to the xpipe on mine...

I hate getting shit welded. I'm going to get some cats and clamp them on with a set of band clamps. I don't see why more people don't do that.

magnaflow hi-flow converters through summit racing are only $65 each... I'm going to need them in a year and half too

you can still pass without cats, just have to find someone willing to let you slide on the visual inspection

Or if you cant do that, just get some cats and cut them along long one side, gut em, and slip em on the Y and turn the cut to the top and tack em in. That way it looks like you got cats, but you don't.

illegal to clamp a cat, has to be welded... clamps provide too muchroom for exhaust leak in their eyes... as well with non rear exiting exhaust... not sure on your states rules, but are you talking the rear exit, or the dumped td's?

I kind of like that idea. I just want the TD's, but be able to pass visual and shit where I live.

I definitely want them dumped. The shop I go to knows me pretty well and will pass me if they are dumped. But they said I have to have cats to pass visual. They didn't say that they have to be functional, just there I guess. I still don't have the car yet, so I guess I don't have to worry about it yet.

i had a wild idea the other dayi was gonna try... i have a aftermarket cat laying around that i want to cut in half... and weld it over the x pipe to appear as if ther were a cat... so its just the shell around the piping

Hmm...where have I heard that before...

Oh wait, I said it a couple post up.

Yea, if I knew somebody to do that then I would not even worry about the cats, but unfortunatly I don't. The place I take all my older cars(pre 96) will pass anything with four wheels, but they are not set up to do emissions so.

What brand of cats did you use?
