Kinda off topic but I'm swapping out my stock exhaust manifold for a stillen header I bought on cl this weekend. I already had to gut the precat as its a common prob on Nissan spec v for them to deteriorate and cause catastrophic engine failure. Plus change oil.

I'm assuming this is a pre-1996 car that doesn't have to pass emissions tests?

Yeah a clogged CAT will cause massive engine backpressure, and gutting it is one solution, however you won't be able to pass inspection if it's newer than 96'

Just a heads up, but it sounds like you might already know that
 
@HRD. It's amazing how much simpler those 60's cars were. I can practically see everything from just that one picture. AND they always have TONS of room to work in.

I can see why you got into doing hod rods. That car is beautiful.

BTW the car I was talking about was a 2001 Dodge stratus 2.4 SOHC, which used a mitsubishi powertrain. Same powertrain as an 01 eclipse, but the SOHC version is only found in 7% of those cars, and the DOHC version is in like 45% or so, the rest have the v6.

So yeah, trying to sell a rare engine is a double edged sword. I can sell it for high dollar, but at the same time not many people need that engine.
