Another Cat Question

[TeflonG35]

I was bored looking at universal cats and i came across these.

$49.99 buy it now price. Would ebay cats be a gamble? I know other exhaust parts seem to be working quite well. No moving parts. Any guess on gains compaired to brand name high flows?

Thanks for the reply. I actually remeber that post. He tested resonated test pipes. Pretty much something that would be hard to mess up. Pretty much just a pipe(X2). I'm curious about cats. I would like to keep my car legal. But if i can't find a low cost solution i may be forced to go with resonated test pipes like kenrik.

I won't trust cats from ebay, test pipes yea but cats no

Remember that there is a decent amount of platinum in a good cat.

You think they can get the steal, the platinum, R&D, and labor in for $50?

[TeflonG35]

Oh well. Test pipes it is. If they can't make a cheap solution, then I don't need it.

i don't trust no brand test pipes from ebay. the cheapest are around 155 shipped, resonated test pipes that is. i just ordered mine and i think they are coming in sometime this week. i have a friend with an M3 and jvt headers so he recommended the brand. heres the site..

they also have high flow cats but they are more than double the resonated test pipe price.

I still suggest HFCs because I hug/hump trees.

Ive found the JVT headers for $199.99 shipped. Ive looked at other forums and they seem to say that JVT makes really good knock offs. I think i'll be ordering them once my checks clear. *damn banks and their holidays and such*

I don't think they high flow.....I think they are just regular cats. I have cats now. I don't want to swap to something just as restrictive.

[oldandslow]

My hard copy Summit catolog lists them as high flow! I noticed they also have Dynomax converters. http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku

I'm going to deal with headers first before i finally decide about cats. We shall see. There is still time for me to do more research.
