    damn, and Toyota cats at that...expensive as hell. You guys don't have CARB emissions, he should've just gotten aftermarket ones.

    I've experience Verizon and T-Mobile and AT&T is the one that constantly has the best reception and data coverage. In fact, some of these other couriers lease AT&T's infrastructure for their network (i.e. Cricket Wireless, Virgin, etc.)

    Ah...wonder what's killing his cats so quickly then. Unless he was getting really shitty/cheap aftermarket ones. Knock on wood my Magnaflows have been going strong for 2 years now

    Don't tell me that I have a test coming up in a couple months lol

    I got the CARB ones though so they had to meet CA specs, maybe thats making them last longer IDK

    yeah they won't even sell non-CA spec cats here. Magnaflow is the only aftermarket option worth a damn according to the shop I had install them. If they get me through this next smog test I'll be happy...only get tested once every 2 years. So if I can get 4 years out of them at a time I'd be content over having to drop $3k on OEM cats.
