I finally got around to installing my high flow catalytic converters I bought from Nameless a year or two ago. For anyone that wasn't around then, a small company called Nameless Performance built a set of catalytic converters for our cars and offered the forum a discount at their first production batch.

They claimed 11hp increase from dyno'd vehicles. I bought them more for the sound, and any perfomance gain a bonus. I don't know if there's any power increase, but with the great sound coming from the car it sure feels faster when I stomp on it

Put them on yesterday and they sounded great. Last year I took off the middle section resonator and put in an H-pipe. The H-pipe with the new cats sound much better than stock. However, I am wondering what it would have sounded like if I kept the resonator and took out one or both of the rear mufflers instead. Unfortunately, I don't have the resonator anymore to try this.

The fit of the Nameless was perfect. Brackets mounted up, holes for O2 sensors - all perfect. Very high quality construction. And so far no computer lights...

 

How hard was it to remove the bolts + O2 sensors?

 

They were in there pretty good. That was the most nerve racking part, I did not want any problems with those. But they did break loose with a little elbow grease. None were really rusted at all.

 

Thanks for the update JNP...........any pics of them on the car?

 

Did you use any penetrating oil or anything?
If so - what + how long was the soak?

 

No, I didn't use any penetrating oil. I thought about it and even tried to get a can down in there, but I didn't have the small straw thing to direct the spray. Its pretty tight in there and I didn't want the spray going everywhere on the exhaust and things. If you can get it in there, I don't think it would hurt though.
