Default Cat Grenade!

After less than 10k miles my Berk HFC went boom boom pow

According to my local Nissan dealer my Y pipe is litterally pluged with debris and when asked to gut the cats and clear the exhaust they said good luck, better off buying a new exhaust. Now.. Im not perfectly happy with my stillen setup so.. im using this as an excuse for a new system.

Berk told me im out of my 1 year warranty, but would offer me a 35% discount on a new set of HFC/TP. Seriously though, no thanks on the HFC! I wont chance it again.

Thing is.. i planned on placing my GTM stage 1 TT order on next thursday, prior to this happening. So i may as well bump it up to 3inch.. I have yet to do my research on any of the 3 inch setups.. But i have the feeling there is not a ton out there.

Also... weird thing is i never got a CEL/SES light from all of this. I only put on 20 miles or so to and from work one day. But i got on it before i was sure what was wrong.. im hoping everything is ok, that pressure had to go somewhere!

Anyways ill keep the board posted when i finally make a decision
