Cons:
- Still smells like @$$. But not as bad as when it was straight pipe. I still have to roll up the windows and turn off the air if I idle too long in traffic as the smell just kind of starts wafting around the car. (depends on the direction of wind too.)

Did it meet my expectations? I think it'd be hard to compare to the lack of any unpleasant smells that all the stock emissions equipment took care of. But my equipment was all failing and doing the ABC delete and getting tuned was the cheaper option.

That said, the cat did help with reducing the smell and visible exhaust smoke. Better than nothing?
Can you please post a picture of your cat installed? Hoping i can get a feel for where in the system it is at. Thanks.

I presume the Eastern Catalytic was too big to put within the downpipe and it had to be after the downpipe to midpipe flanges.
