my cat on my fed spec 00 has seen better days even tho its only 2 years old. its a warpspeed hiflow, so i figured it wasnt a very good one to start. correct me if im wrong on that. but i figured them cheap it came with my y-pipe for like $200ish.

anyway i need a new one. i have a frankincar catback and a warpspeed y-pipe,m which will be replaced with hotshot headers, illl be doing the install at the same time. well not me, i have a good exhaust shop thatll do it for me. whats a good one to get, i dont mind spending more if i get a better unit, thanks for the input.

 

i have the carsound from warpspeed and its trashed in less than 2 years. the rt cat is just as bad. it seems the stock one is the only one worth using if you are n/a and stick with about 2.5" piping. you could try the more expencive ones but im guess is they will last just as short. they really dont gain any hp on an n/a setup anyhow.

 

wheres the best place to get a stock one, dave b?

 

well technicly you cant buy them used but im sure you could get one off here. call dave and check the price, it cant hurt.

 

how bout the highflow that custommaxima sell? any good, its ceap but not too cheap.

ill call dave b tomo anyway just to find out about the stocker

 

I had a carsound cat on my 93 for more than 2 years and it still worked alright. I dont know. Is there a reason why the fail so soon?

 

does CM even sell a real cat, or is it just a fake one thats just a resonator?


im not sure why they fail but im thinking build quality.

 

yeah for some reason where i live i have to go to get my emissions checked like every 6 months, its really a pain.

would a stock one bolt up right to my y-pipe/soon to be headers, and my catback, wouldnt it be for a much smaller piping, the ce one says it fits 2.5inch exhausts, which is what i have.

 

Call up DaveB.

 

odd to think a stock piece would actually be better than an aftermarket one.

 

Ask Cattman about his catalytic converter.
