CPO'ing with cat's with clamps

flea333 · 09-22-2016, 05:14 PM

Anybody go from test pipes and clamp back on the cat's to get CPO'd without issue?

Is it possible to clamp them back on? I always thought they needed to be welded on because the location of the o2 sensor mounts come in the way of the clamp.

Borrow an unmolested midpipe for the inspection.

i don't know, however, i wouldn't risk going without an unmolested xpipe.

I don't know! If they do I really need a xpipe then I guess.

You can get whole exhaust center sections for cheap now, $300 or so... It's not worth the risk of taking them a hacked up exhaust for inspection. A tech who is worth a hoot would spot it quickly.

They come up all the time in the classifieds or Craigslist. I usually sell one every month but am out right now. eBay is also full of them. It costs about $120 to ship them.

I got one I'm selling, but would most likely be quite expensive to ship to ca.

you can try.. it all depends on what dealer you go to. are you trading it in? or are buying a cpo warranty?

Can you get an estimate from a delivery service? I'm sure people have done it and ther will be shipping companies that will.
