What was the part number for the magnaflow cat? If you look around hiflite seems to think he has found a cat that from them that the rotary wont kill and it was somewhere around $100 I think. Almost all other aftermarket cats will just need to be replaced sooner or later, some can even fail quickly.

You could always try and get an exhaust shop to reweld the o2 bung on there at a different angle couldn't you?

id rather them reweld the flares so they can fit right on rather than messing with the o2 section
