My injector harness had a short in it last summer which caused a huge dump of fuel into one of my cylinders. I am concerned this much fuel would ruin the core of the CAT and would like to see if I can buy a replacement. The downpipe for my MSM was made by ARTech Fabrication and I purchased it used from a previous MSM owner. The pipe has a v-band section for a CAT or straight pipe. Does anyone know if ABE is still producing exhausts for miatas? I thought he could either sell me a new v-band CAT pipe or point me to the place to purchase one.

I sent an email to his address but I did not hear anything back.

Thanks

 

Try matt at hella fab.

 

Is it a metal substrate cat?

 

He just replied to me yesterday. Yes he is out there. He quoted me 80bucks for a straight pipe section through my cat. What a guy!

 

A fabricator would have to have the exhaust on hand to fabricate a new one, if you go that direction. Abe doesn't have a jig for MSM V-banded cats.

 

I'm about to buy an MSM 3" downpipe from him shortly so he is there.

But I'm getting it to a standard 2-bolt flange. It might almost be easier to go to a local shop(an actual good one) and get them to just swap it out on the car vs shipping it back to Abe

 

If only he knew a local shop that was any good...

 

Abe wrote back and said he just needed to know the outside dimensions of current v-banded CAT then he could give me a quote.

@Curly I actually called your shop and it was suggested to contact Abe.

I am bringing the car in eventually to check out what the dead animal I hit did anyway, nothing like seeing a big dead critter on the post-apex exit of a curve on Skyline. Saw it too late and heard a thud followed by dead animal smell and a new vibration coming up thru the seat.
