RP/BONEZ Supercat questions ...
I hear this ****** thing is loud, that is fine with me. My MS dual exaust can get loud but I would like it to be a little more offensive
MY first question is, will this thing mate up w/ my MS midpipe thing or does this actually replace that ? Second, I would like to install this myself, how difficult is it ?
[yes I searched]

I thought I read that due to the light weight of the RP cat it does not require any hangers ?
what about the compatibility w/ my MS cat back system ... it looks like this thing replaces the whole front piece thing thing

Some people have had issues with rattling or banging up against the body and had hangers welded on. Some said said what you pointed out, no issues because it had little give, and is lightweight.
It replaces the stock cat. It "should" be compatible with most cat-back.

On that note, the guy from RP told me that soon they will have a hanger kit in stock for anyone having problems w/ the mid-pipe banging.
There is also always the option of having the stock hanger cut off and welded back on, if you know somebody good like that [and I do, just in case]

Perhaps, either way, the good people over at RP are really nice to deal with and Im sure if there was an issue they would work with you to solve it. He said on all the cars they have installed or tested it on, there was never an issue, but either way an add on hanger was developed and will be available soon.
