they will install...

If you hear rattling within the CAT then it is bad or check for cracks
with the CAT's top shield plate.

The HI-FLOW CATS are usually a 3" in and 3" out. These are good for
hi-temp headers that will not burn out but provide enough limit to pass
emission. You can purchase the CAT online at eBay or
www.Truckperforrmance.com.
