Paul,

That isn't the Flowmaster I was thinking about, I
didn't know they made one
like that.  How much does it weigh?

Steve

I don't know. I think Brian has one. What does it
weigh Brian?

I can't give you a weight because it is installed.
Also, I've welded the 'Y' collector onto it, along
with the O2 sensor. the dimensions are:23"
overall,(19" for the body, the inlet and outlet pipes
add 4") 5 1/2"wide, 3 1/2" deep.  It's made out of
some sort of stainless steel, I forget which series,
but Tracy reports that it holds up well.
