Im getting a 4-1 JDM Header installed very soon... after reading the numerous posts about Carsound/Magnaflow exhausts crapping out on a large number of people, I would like to avoid that but still be environmentally safe, meaning NO test pipe. SO anything else out there ?? I.E. Running stock cats ??

I have had no problems in the almost 3 years i have been running my smsp modified carsound with jdm 4-1 to t1r exhaust. I have passed emissions with no problems and the car has ran great

 

SMSP has been testing a few new options. I'd suggest contacting him.

 

I run the JDM Cat. not sure if its up to stardards of the US emmission laws, but i'm sure its filtering something.

 

I had a universal 3-way cat from Jeg's back when I had the JDM header on my sled. It was $50 back then, but I think they're $150 or better now, if they're still available.

If you dont get your car tuned when you add a header/intake/exhaust/whatever, then you will have a catalytic converter 'problem'... what you call 'crapping out'.

It's not the cat's fault - its the user's fault.

 

Well I currently have IHE but no engine management system... how am i suppose to tune that

VAFC would be enough. And is a pretty good idea even for those few mods.

 

hmmm look up top... do you think those mods are worthwhile ??

About 5 years when I started selling cats I used the 94005 (2-1/4") and 94006 (2-1/2") Carsound/Magnaflow cats. I had some issues with these and I will not use them anymore. Currently I use some of the Magnaflow 93505 and 93506 cats along with a few other manufacturers.

 

FWIW, this is the cat I used from Jeg's.

289-15033 2.5'' In/Out with AIR tube, 13.25'' Long $59.99

Needs to have the tube cut off and welded shut, and an O2 sensor bung installed. But it worked fine over the time I had it installed.

 

I have a magnaflow 94036 cat here that I am going to be using on a DC sports JDM header. have anyone had problems with the 94036 cats, says it is made by carsound???

Hey Dave I noticed on the carsound website: "The 93000 Series large oval is specifically designed for medium to large engine displacements and features a larger capacity catalyst"

Is the B18C5 considered just that type of engine ??
