Opinions on Maremont/Arvin Catalytic Converters
Hey guys, I picked up a Maremont/Arvin converter from Autozone today, but the guy I was recommended by said that it would clog in a few months. Now I don't believe it because he wanted 2 sell me a high-flow cat from him installed for a lot more. Do you guys have any opinions on these cats? Any experiences??

So I shouldn't install it? You think it'll clog that quickly? I guess its back to Autozone I go to return that cat...

Cheaply designed case, poor welding they tend to fall apart quick.

So back to Autozone it goes... Any suggestions on a good cat that i can pick up for less than $100? How hard is it to pull it off, because I can get an assortment of tools, but I don't know which ones we'd need. Thanks

Would I need a 2 1/4" in and 2 1/2" out, or could I use a 2 1/4" both sides, universal Carsound Cat (23015)?
