Cat Delete Pipe for Stock System?!?

[6LMonster]

I figured you guys could help me find this. I am looking for a Cat Delete pipe for a stock 3.5" system. I have found plenty for 4" and 5" systems, but nothing for a 3.5" system.

I have 1st hand knowledge that the MBRP Cat Delete / Test pipe will
work just fine (no cutting)...its a simple 2 bolts and a clamp
set up...takes all of about 15min to do the swap.

you could have also went to a muffler shop and got them to make a pipe the lenght you needed. it would have cost probably 10-15$ for it.

thats true....but the factory down pipe has a FLANGE that
mates to the front of the cat...the factory CAT BOLTS on w/
a mating flange to the factory down pipe.

you COULD cut the flange off, use a longer "plain" pipe but then you
wouldnt be leaving TELL-TALE signs that youre modifying the truck when
you took it in to the dealer for warranty service.

the MBRP STAINLESS pipe maintains the STOCK BOLTING/FLANGE and
can be installed and removed w/OUT any modifications to the factory
exhaust system.

I had 3.5" exhaust pipe laying around so i deleted the cat and muffler. Just got the truck back from the dealer for a warranty problem. Iratic idle, idle surging. I scannned it 2288 ICP sensor low volts. So I just had them replace it cause it's a PITA. Never mentioned the missing cat. Didn't mean to go off topic but wanted to add my experience with the dealer I use.

rathbone -

Good info and im sure others would echo your experiances...

it really comes down to the dealer...some have problems w/ gauges...
others are only concerned w/ fixing the truck and understand what
mods they need to be concerned w/.

+1. When I had the muffler deleted, it was sawzall and MIG time. With the kitty, I wanted it to be replaceable, so he used the test pipe mentioned above, no welding or cutting. Both cost me $45 each. Clanton's of Madison did the job.

The sound is perfect!
