I emailed them the part # I needed and they sent me a quote. They seem to be able to get all cats if Mag makes them.

That's a lot of money for an over-glorified glass pack. IMO

Lots of smoke after a body swap, changed out everything (motor, tranny, axles, driveline stuff you name it) went with an apn header to replace the old, rusty, crappy exhaust manifold. Large plumes of white smoke, throttle related (more throttle more smoke) could it be the oil on the apn still burning off? It didn't smell like oil or antifreeze burning, and we let it run for about 5 minutes. Eh?

I wouldn't be worried about it my flow master smoked for about four days only cause for concern is if it smelled like antifreeze or had a bluefish tint to it v

So I took a look under the jeep today and Im wondering the short pipe after the cat that goes into the muffler, its clamped in by the muffler, do you guys just pound the muffler to get it off or do you cut the pipe before the muffler ? Seems like with all the rust its gonna be a pita to get it off.

Also should I use any rtv exhaust sealant when connecting the pipes together or should I just clamp them and thats it ?

My exhaust should be coming in on Wed figured I should start working on taking the old one out.

Cut and clamp or take it to a muffler shop they'll cut and weld in the new one for about $50.

Ok cool, one more question what kind of hangers do I need to get for the new exhaust pipe ? Cuz the stock hanger is bolted but then the other piece of metal that slides into the rubber part is welded to the exhaust pipe.

If you could link to one that be good just so I see what kind I need, Iv looked on autozone but there's a bunch of them and I dont even see how they would work or how im suppose to use em. Im sure once I get all this stuff its gona be easier to do it.
