The bloke at my local exhaust joint is telling me that you can't use pacey comps PH4480's with the standard ford Catalytic converter and i'll have to buy a new cat putting the price up.
Is this true? or is the bloke just trying to rip me off. |

yep rip off. they did the same to me but when i looked into it its just easier to fit with a new cat. and of course you make more money. if your cat i in good nick keep it. i think you can download the fitting instructions for them off the pacemaker site anyway have a look.

yes u can reuse the original cat, however it can be a little tricky/painful fitting it as those cats are not straigh, but the front end is angled.

yup standard cats can be used.. a flange just has to be welded to the pipe and the pipes have to be changed to 2.5" and then it can just be botled to the extractors
