This is true, ive just never heard any stories of anyone being like "he pulled me over because my intake was to loud" lol. I guess i just over looked it.

Find a buddy with a welder.

There are hundreds of "performance" shops that might do it for you.

Hell, there are quite a few good fabricators on here that post often.

Maybe (just maybe) they would help you out.

Maybe do the cutting yourself and then use V-Bands as your connections. Just a thought.

there's not real cutting or welding involved. they're bolt ons. i just don't have the proper tools or area to get it done myself.

What kind of car are you talking?

I have a garage and it shouldn't involve anything except for an o2 removal socket and some metric/standard sockets.

I was thinking the same thing. Profile says 350Z. Dont know exactly what they use but its most likely 3 14mm bolts on one side, 2 on the other.

If those are anything like the ones on a 370, the bolts that join the headers to the cats are a royal pain in the ass. When i say pain in the ass, I mean even more so than typical exhaust fasteners. Pain in the ass as in you use liquid penetrant and heat/cold and pray you don't round them off anyway. Did I mention they're also very difficult to get to? The last ones I saw had to be destructively removed. Just something to look into before jumping in. I don't know much about 350's but I get the feeling they aren't very different from 370's.

you hit the nail on the head. which is exactly why i wanted to have a shop do it. i've tried and failed. i didn't have the right swivel to get to the bolt.
