Carsound Cat-Warpspeed

Need a replacement cat. to bolt up to my LSS Y&B pipes.
Is the Carsound worth it, or should I go for the Metallic Substrate Converter?



Thanks,
Geo T.

I had WS's cheaper one and it fell apart in about a year. There have been horror stories with every aftermarket cat (RT mainly), so its best to stay OEM.

IMO Cattman's fast cat is pretty good. It's EPA/DOT approved and it has a lifetime warranty (just have to fill out the supplied registration card). It's SS and looks pretty good, all the welds and stuff is decent. I like it. (I kept my OEM just incase)

My stock cat feel apart so, I had to get a Magnaflow Universal cat to replace it. They welded it on my stock y, now I need to get a replacement w/flanges
on it to bolt right up! Everyone is saying stock is the best, but I don't have one anymore. So, where's the cheapest place to get a stock cat?

Wow see finding a stock cat is very very hard. You should try ebay or car-parts.com I was going to sell mine, but since i've been reading about ppl not passing emission because of it i decided the leave it for the future.

so I shouldn't get that one from ce? I thought there was more flow in the ones from CE which leads to better performance over the stock cat?

legally a used cat can not be sold, so you have to get one private sale. Some junk yards will do a cash only as-is type of thing with used cats. Im using a B13 (91-94 Sentra) cat. Its identical to 97-99 cats (no o2 sensor). Just measure your cat and visit the local junk yard to see what they have.
