Default Will this fit before axle back?, just wondering..

okay as some of you may know imma be doing a custom exhaust and i just have a few questions to those that may know. i tried to measure everything, but its kinda hard cuz my car is a little low and i cant really get under it.

so this is what i want:

Hi flo cat, 25inch resonator, and a magnaflow round 4inch muffler that is about 20 inches overall.

i know this will fit if i were to use the whole mid pipe and mount the muffler in the orginal position, but the thing is, i have to mount all three before it reaches the point where it connects to the stock muffler.

i dont wanna give away what imma be doing in the rear portion, but i just wanna know if these three will fit, and is there anything wrong with putting those three one after another without givin it any room?

so your saying you want to fit all three
1. hi flow cat - i hope its obd2 compliant if not dont waste your $
2. 25 inch?? dang soo long.
3. 4 muffler? on the midpipe ? question is will it fit around the metal heat shroud.

you could always use jackstands but remember to measure a couple inches from the flange(spipe side) because it has to bend down if you plan to fit a 4" diameter.

i think its dumb to fit all that in there and i see no point.

OBD2 because you need to replace the cat with the same spec. High Flow cats on ebay are nothing but knockoff non working cheap junk.



good luck with your setup.

in order for a cat to function properly, it needs to heat up. Putting it that far downstream will severly reduce temperatures and therefore, functionality.

Sorry to say that's illegal in for those of us in CA. I don't think there are any CARB approved replacements, other than Toyota/Scion. This seems to be the case for all CA cars since '96, when OBDII was introduced.
