can anybody please tell me how they got SOMEBODY to take off their cats!!! I'm just tryin to get a dern high-flow magnaflow setup. noone will do it and every exhaust shop i call just laughs bc its illegal lol. but i know somehow yall are gettin this done. HOW?!?!?!!!

 

i cut out my own rear cats on my 98 f150 4.6L and drove it to an exhaust shop and told the guy i cut out old glass packs and wanted straight pipe put in. if the shop has no knowledge of cats ever being there, they should do it.

 

Some areas wont do it, some will but require you to put 4 cats back in, and others are cool with it and agree to do the work. I had the same problem as you do, no one would do it, so I just cut my rear cats out and called it done.

 

yeah i had to ask around a bit then i finally found a good shop that knew exactly what i wanted done and knew what they were doing/talking about.

 

probably makes a difference if it's a cash job.

 

Maybe, I offered a shop $200 cash to do it ( with supplied cats ) and told them that if I got in trouble, they never installed them, still didn't bite...

 

was there anything in particular you said to them that would help convince them to do it besides ''hey i need my cats taken off''? lol

and yes i would be payin them cash. should i offer letting them keep my cats and sellin them for their profit? anything to help convince them...

 

Ask if someone (one of the employees) is willing to do it on the side for you. A lot of shops won't touch them. Some shop managers will even let their employees use an open bay as long as they're not on the clock.

 

do u mean ask them if theyl do it after the shop officially is ''closed'' for the day?

 

That or some shops will have a bay that doesn't get used much. Sometimes there's just not enough guys working to have all the bays being used. In cases like that, an employee that's not on the clock can utilize that bay. Whatever gets it done.
