New Era Performance cat delete - Page 2

Texas speed headers are only like 2-3 hundred more look into those

These seem like the best option for cat deletes. All the reviews say the other brands leak, these eliminate that connection point that everyone has problems with.

CA front cat deletes do not leak, they are better than OEM fit and finish... If the the band clamp is an issue on others, just have a shop weld them. My Kooks, band clamps "leak" FYI...

Well you will have to eat your own words and I truly know the difference between stainless steel and mild steel. And I forgot to tell you he makes his own cut outs which he installed with that section after the headers. (My drag cut outs for the track) The only thing I could think is that you have misunderstood that’s it’s the section from the header to where the second cat was. It’s a straight pipe section of stainless $100 a piece. Believe me or not, to add the cut outs that he makes it was $150 a side.

The rear section where he installed my electric cut outs for cars and coffee revs I honestly forget what I paid him to do the rear section but $600 comes to my mind. Jim the owner is an artist when it comes to stainless steel exhaust and he’s fast and does a great job. I like my set up.

Looks like mild steel to me with mild steel mig welds that were spray painted with a silver rattle can to protect the mild steel welds from rusting and a crush bender in the background

He spray paints the weld. Come over and inspect the pipes since your so knowledgeable and concerned. So there is a bender in the background, he does stainless steel exhaust, mild steel, and factory pipes. Whatever man, seems can’t make u happy with what ever I put up.

Your name says it all, Who Cares” and believe me I don’t care what you say. ��

Also, just looked at you other posts. Your basically a shit disturber, most of your post are negative and attack the OP. Get a life.

You're right, why would you care what others think?

Life's too short to be positive.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I couldn't find the answer in search. If I wanted to put the stock cats back on, is it simply a matter of bolting them up and using the same exhaust sleeve clamps to reconnect?

I think you will want the CA Performance deletes if you want to be able to put the stock setup back. The New Era pipes required cutting which is why I didn't go with them.

It was hard to find a set of CA Performance deletes, but one hit Ebay a couple weeks ago, brand new with all the gaskets and were the upgraded billet last revision to boot for 200 dollars. Bought them instantly and zero leaks connected to my Borla 60606 midpipe. They sometimes go for sale here as well.

oneplustwo · 05-21-2019, 05:55 PM

Do the CA performance ones bolt up on both sides, front and back? And do they delete both primary and secondary cats? The website has them up but I haven't tried buying them. I did call a couple times today and it went to voicemail though...

The CA pipes do match up perfectly front and rear. However, they are just primary cat deletes. I already had the Borla 60606 which deletes the secondary cats. I used an aftermarket stainless clamp on the drivers side and that is leak free. The New Era pipes will delete both, but required cutting.

And you are correct that CA appears to of never reopened which is why I had trouble tracking down a new set.

DorkMissile · 05-21-2019, 09:34 PM

I am considering going to headers and may have a set of CA primary deletes that I might sell

oneplustwo · 05-22-2019, 12:42 AM

I’m ok with cutting as it appears you can just clamp the cats back on later for smog. That’s what new era said when I called anyway. So I’ll likely get those since they delete both primary and secondary cats. Any retailer deals to know about or just order direct from them?

I also considered headers but I’m not really looking for more power than the whipple is going to provide. This is more to reduce the risk of cats melting and plugging up the exhaust and blowing the engine. $400 seems a reasonable price to pay for that vs the extra $1000 or so for headers.
