Hotshot headers

[Lyger]

I read this off another board that Hotshot headers will replace the cat on the 240. Is this true? If so would it still be possible to put a catalytic converter on somewhere without welding it to a cat-back system with the Hotshot headers?

yea IIRC, it doesn replace ur cat..turns ur car into straight pipe..dont think u can put cat in it..the hotshot headers is like 7 ft long or something [correct me if im wrong]

it does NOT replace the cat on the S13s.

not too sure on S14s though.

It replaces one cat on the S14.. the pre-heat cat.

I just did the install about 2 weeks ago.

The hotshot headers will replace the stock cat, you then put a new cat at the end of the headers and then a cat-back. &nbsp;The hotshot headers are not 7 feet long, they are maybe 3-4 feet long.

It definately depends which year you're talking about...the s13's, definately does NOT replace the cat. &nbsp;the s14, all I've ever heard is the precat being taken away...which everyone has always said it doesn't really do anything anyways. &nbsp;If the precat is really important to you, then have a muffler shop cut off the headers, and weld on the precat.

if it is an S14, the cat-looking thing in the exhaust is another resonator, the cat is located just behind the stock manifold, and is impropperly called a pre-cat by many here (including me, at one point)

i just did the install, the cat is most definitely just after the manifold right about at teh firewall

just use an aftermarket high flow cat after the hotshot
