cat convertor ?'s

[wmaharrisjr]

which catalytic convertor do i choose with or without air

With or without air?? I could only guess thatbthey're referring to air conditioning, but I've never seen a cat sold that way. If your car is a cali spec, you already have a hi-flow cat, so no need to spend the money to replace it.

with or without air. means with or without an air tube.

this one has an air tube on the side

i haven't researched what the air tube is for but that clarifys with or without air.

as for do u need the air tube. im almost positive that u need the one without the air tube

that air tube is for emissions. the air pump pumps air into the cat for oxidation purposes.
im 99% sure that ours arent like that. actually im now 100% sure that we dont have that inlet.

HighFlow!!??? I haven't felt any Highflow around on my car!!??? And where did you learn this interesting fact???? I know the oem fed spec will beat a oem cali spec anyday.

Hey, that's what I was told, and I noticed that the Cali and Fed specs Cats have different part numbers. (at least on the V6) So I checked with the service manager at my dealership and he told me that the cali spec had a hi-flow cat. It made sense to me, so I believed it. Sorry if I repeated misinformation.
