Default New Cat =^..^=
Last owner of my truck had the cat swiped out from under the truck (which isn't that uncommon around these parts)

So I did some googling and found a Made in the USA direct fit setup from Flowmaster for under $165.00 after taxes and shipping! Amazon Prime FTW!!!



This will greatly increase my chances of passing emissions in October!

You should make one of these if theft is a problem in your area.

Why not just run no cats? Unless you failed emissions

Likely a stupid question, but why would someone spend the time to steal a cat off someones truck? Is this common? We don't even lock or remove our keys, this is something I've never heard of.

I've heard of it happening before - certain areas I guess. I would take that as a sign that it was time to just move. lol


Scrap yards pay $$$ for catalytic converters($50-$150 depending on setup)

Yep someone must have figured it was any easy way to some fast cash. Was gone when I bought it the previous owner had a test pipe on it. (Straight Pipe)

The irony is that California is "supposed" to be a car lover/enthusiast state .
