Thumbs up cat & exhaust question

also will the RB header and the cat above connect right to the apexi dual canister exhaust? and doesany one know if it comes out of the driver side or passanger side?

i am not sure what you are talking about...slow down and rephrase your question.
what RB header do you have...road race or street header?
another thing. the does cannister on the image is not correct...usually does mean duel exit, 1 on passanger and 1 o driver.

It looks like that cat should work for awhile, but if you plan on driving with it for long it will burn out. You should look into a Bonez High-Flow cat if you want longevity. If the flanges don't mate up you can always get an exhaust shop to weld another flange on for cheap. The exhaust looks like it will come out the driver side to me. Hope this helps.

That is not a picture of the APEX'i dual N1 exhaust for the FC. Here is a pic of mine (that I'm trying to get rid of )

There's no reason to think the Catco won't last. It's the same construction as any other cat (show me a cell count for the Bonez and this can be debated further). Only downside is that it will be a 2" flange, made to attach to the stock exhaust.

You will be better off buying the Bonez simply because you will have the RB header, which is shorter than the stock piping to the cat, requiring an extension. Also the Bonez is 2.5" which will match the header and the exhaust.

If you have a good muffler shop around you can have a Bonez copy made and save a few...uh...bones... but you will have to decide if the savings is worth the convenience.

Do you already have the header installed?

Selling because it's not what I really wanted. I changed from a different canister exhaust to this one thinking it would be quieter, but it just sounded different (more "intense," If you get the silencers I have no doubt it would be rather quiet.).

I found a super-ultra-cool-unknown-brand-JDM exhaust on ebay, so now I have to get rid of two exhausts
