Anyone have a RT Catalytic Converter?
#1
I need as many feedbacks as possible. I ordered one today and I want to know if anyone out there had any problems with them. I saw somewhere that the heat shiels tend to break. Is that true? I tried using the search option already,
thanks

Had mine for 10K miles - so far no problems.
Just watch the install with the y-pipe. Spoke with RT a few months ago and they were gonna start including a warning in our kits.
Don't overtighten the bolts too hard. If you do you'll bend those rotating flanges and won't get a good seal. That was my problem and I had a VERY loud exhaust note from 2K-2.8K rpm and various other ranges. Wound up doing a custom welded flange like GregP suggested.
RT Cat added a bit of high end power but not much torque IMO

Yep, high end power.
I added this after I got a pop charger, Dynomax muffler, and the Y-pipe. Noticed some extra throttle response on the highway. First time I dropped it down from 5th to 3rd gear doing 65mph I had a little grin on my face.
If you have close to the same mods I have, you'll gain about 5-6 hp somewhere in the high end. Mabey 7-8 hp on a nice 80 degree day/night with low humidity.
