New front pipe and converter tack welded into place547 viewsThis is how I welded everything. I used a mig welder with stainless steel wire.Aug 23, 2008
new_converter_installed_40percent.jpg
New Converter Installed394 viewsThis is how it looks in the finished installation. Not much of a converter, is it? Supposedly it is fully legal, according to the company. It passes emissions no problem. But I think if someone actually looked at this during an inspection, I could run into trouble. I lost low end torque after this installation, but gained more power at higher rpms. I would have gone with a GM part but the price was ludicrous.Aug 23, 2008

Old converter, original OEM installation404 viewsThis shows what the original converter looked like as it was installed. I changed this because all the insides were loose and rattled around. It didn't hurt the performance of the car, but it drove me crazy. The car sounded like a piece of junk.Aug 23, 2008
Old_system_removed_40percent.jpg
Exhaust system removed from vehicle423 viewsThis is the original exhaust system removed from the car. It is all welded together in one piece. This system was still very good even being 12 years old.Aug 23, 2008

386 viewsThis shows how I cut the old converter off using a pneumatic tool with a cut-off wheel.Aug 23, 2008
New_converter___front_pipe_40percent.jpg
New Random Technologies Converter and new GM front pipe419 viewsI decided to buy a new front pipe instead of playing around with the original rusty one, especially since I was going to weld.Aug 23, 2008
New_converter_internal_40percent.jpg
Internal View of Random Technology Cat Converter403 viewsThis shows what the inside of this converter looks like. It is a metal matrix style converter, instead of the ceramic matrix of the OEM unit.Aug 23, 2008
