carsound is most widely used, but may not be the best.

overfueling cuases the inner honeycomb mesh to break up, thus rattling and a stuffed up cat

Yup, my Carsound cat that I had installed went bad after about 3 months. I got it from Dave (R&D) but unfortuantely I couldn't get a replacement from him and I have to go through Carsound directly. But before I can send it to them, which isn't even a guaranteed refund, I have to take it off and get another cat in the meantime. $200 like that, wasted!

Default Re: question about high flow cat (Waxing "The Carrot")

we have been over this before, but is there any other alternative?

for me, test pipe is out of the question because the fine is so severe.
california laws suck!

i have been thinking of just selling my un-used jdm4-1 and the carsound and just purchase a comptech.. kinda extreme.

AT one point IPS and R&D got them from the same place so the problem is hit or miss.

Try a JEGs cat from summitt.
