so, i was visiting family in the socal desert (plus doing my own things in L.A.) when on a drive in the desert east of palm springs, the front cat just shoots out of the bolt up downpipe flange to the turbo hotside. weirdest sh*t i've ever heard/seen happen. I assume that section was only tack welded to the flange a few spots from the factory? anyways, rather then getting a remanufacture from a dealer for 1100, or waiting to find a used one for 200, a local muffler shop took the pipe off and back-welded the flange back on for 2hrs labor ($160).
with an open hotside for a bit, the spool sound was nice cruising, kinda sounded diesel, but when I get on it, it was sooo f**king loud and accelerated quick it scared the sh*t out of rich people in palm desert lol. but it was annoying & fuel smell and stuff wasnt having it for very long.
