s14 ka24de front catalytic converter question

[jame5x]

Does anyone know if I can use a universal cat to replace the front cat since the rear cat is hollow?

You can use whatever you'd like as long as someone can make it fit.

Not legally.

How do one replace this for smog other than buying used?

i bought a magnaflow high flow cat sometime last year and it lasted 17k miles and it broke apart and clogged the exhaust. Magnaflow warrantied it for me and the second one lasted 11k miles. I would not buy a magnaflow cat PERIOD.

send that POS back. I am telling ya man i thought i may have just got ONE defective cat and it happened twice. Both were Brand new magna flow high flow cats.

SEND IT BACK/CANCEL THE ORDER

Haha. Well, not sure if it's the same, but I got the regular cat not the high flow though.
