    Can anyone recommend a direct bolt on replacement cat. I searched online and saw Magnaflow #39884 may be a direct fit, but some posts say it is a bit short.

    Please help.

    Well thats the first Ive ever heard of that!! Why would they steal it? hard to get for emission laws or scrap value? and how the hell do they get it off (im guessing) a lowered truck

    ^^ they sell it for the precious metals = $$$$$$$

    You'd be surprised man! especially Toyota's since we have more precious metals.

    I hope someone steals mine. They're getting nothing out of it :)

    truth be told-not that i know the process, but people are stealing cats, or i should say tweakers are stealing cats to make meth... i guess theres a really quick way to make a batch using a cat? my ex-roomates car was stolen and taken a few blocks away so that they could get the cat off w/o him hearing the saw.
