31 year old cat is going to be very difficult to remove. I would remove it by removing all the exhaust from where it drops down from the engine all the way to the tailpipe. Once it's off the car, you can inspect it for holes, etc.

Does your state require smog inspections? If so, your going to have to remove the cat and punch out all the insides and then put it back. If no inspection, then you can cut it off and have a local muffler shop make you a test pipe.

We have strict smog laws here in Calif. You can always buy a new cat by Magnaflow. They are very efficient with high flow.

Go to the website I posted and it will tell you the "whole" process they do to your injectors.

camo 02-26-2013 02:36 PM

Thanks MPDano, no Oregon does not require smog inspections.

So, I got my injectors out and I've decided to just replace them with the Mercedes injectors. What kind exactly and where do I get them? Link please?
Also, I need the injector connectors and I cannot find them anywhere.. Any ideas?

See my video on this. It has the part number in it. I got mine at A Z A U T O H A U S dot com.

Would it be worth about $70 more ($240) to replace the injectors with the Mercedes injectors? Or clean my current ones ($170)? There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the ones I have.

MPDano 03-13-2013 12:52 PM

CIS Injectors can't be cleaned like electronic injectors. There might be companies that say they can, but $70 more, are you willing to risk that?

camo 03-13-2013 12:54 PM

So your''e saying I would probably be better off cleaning the original injectors that are in the car now?

To be clear. No. Buy "new" injectors. Buy the Mercedes ones. Now. Don't wait. Time's a ticking. Stop reading this. Order now. Your still reading this aren't you? ;)

camo 03-13-2013 01:00 PM

LOL ok gotcha. But didn't you say that witchhunter cleans them?

Only the electronic ones. They do a great job at that too. When you get your next 928 with L-Jet, then your going to pull them and send them to Witchhunter. They clean them in stages, flow match them and they also send you a report of the rates before and after. Second to none stuff :cool:

camo 03-13-2013 01:04 PM

It's easy to get confused when you're dumb like me... @.@

Especially when communicating online.

camo 03-13-2013 01:04 PM

Oh ok, I see now!

Thanks MPDano! :)

Great youtube video BTW, about the injectors.

BoiseShark 03-13-2013 01:46 PM

Hey, I just bought and installed those merc injectors on my 79 and here is the ebay listing for them...he says he has 29 left.

No worries either...just got eight in the mail and they are truly brand-new. only $220 for the set
