Dynomax Catalytic Converter

I called the Dynomax Technical (1-800-594-9815) support line today and talked to Diane she told me that Dynomax makes a direct replacement catalytic converter for the 2.8 and 3.1
The part number is 15735
I then called Summit Racing to get a price and that is $87.99 plus shipping but it is a special order so there will be an additional 2 weeks shipping time on that.
Diane said that the converter could also be bought at NAPA. My local NAPA wants $106.39 and they have it in stock.

If anyone is using a Dynomax Catalytic Converter please let me know how good it is because when I order my Catback system I am planning on ordering the converter also.

(I know that this should go on the exhaust board but I figured that this information would benifit us better here)

I Have a catco that I liked a lot. The only thing it that it cost me $91 from summit. The guy at my local muffler shop said he could have gotten it for me for $85, and thats with the labor to install it. So I would deffinetly check with a local muffler shop. They seem to be able to get better prices.

I had a catco b4 i ended with a random tech. I noticed more performance difference with the random tech with not much more sound, but the catco i heard more sound then felt power.

I'm using the dynomax hi-flow cat. Works pretty nicely. It give the car some more upper range and helps it pull to redline just slightly quicker. Gas milage was up too.

I have a Catco now but it seems to be starting to clog and it isn't that old maybe I got a defective one. I will probably go with the Dynomax just so everything will be the same.

Weird thing too.. I had to gut my catco.. It got clogged somehow in like two years. Now that car sat for two years, but it should not have clooged once I got it running.


I may call around and see what local shops have because it is way to loud without one. You can't hear inside the car..
