Probably cost about the same dollars as buying a stock one from Fraud plus you'll have the added performance of a tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bf bionic xrt Member 19 Member For: 16y 10m 9d Posted 21/10/08 01:53 PM Share Posted 21/10/08 01:53 PM No, I would not (and did not) put a replacement stock unit in. I just wanted to point out that the highflow stainless cats can go to and the one I refered to was two weeks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 21/10/08 01:57 PM Share Posted 21/10/08 01:57 PM Wow that's dodgy!Was it put in the car without a tune? A replacement would surely be on it's way from Xforce hey?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
