I am going to be getting a spoon header this week and my friend that owns the performance shop here in town is saying i should go with a random technologies high flow cat......will this work on my stock b-pipe and the spoon header? he called to find out but they still have to get back to him. i told him about the carsound cat. but he has never heard of it. what should i do?

Order a cat from SMSP, IPS, or R&D.

 

Carsound from one of those three places.

 

SMSP gets my vote. No issues so far except some minor clearance problems with the O2 sensor but the new SMSP cat does not have this problem.

 

 

i have heard of people have rattling problems with the carsound cat. is this a common problem with any of them? one guy said that something inside it fell apart and it started to rattle?

 

No rattling here. No issues whatsoever. Perfect fit, good service and a high quality part! Dave @ SMSP

 

random is garbage. go with the above suggestions.

 

could also try the cheap oh generic Jegs cat....

 

Carsound

 

If you live somewhere that doesnt require echeck, id suggest the sp00n catalytic jack (test pipe) for maximum bling and hp.

 

i live in Cali. and the spoon test pipe is discontinued. I would have gone with a Type One racing converter but it is on backorder for 3 weeks through my friend. anyone have one in stock?

SMSP can make both test pipes and high flow cats. Where can you get the type one pipe?

I would not suggest a straight pipe in CA.

 

So i guess i am going to go with the carsound then.

 

Thanks guys, you have been a big help as always.

 

My friend owns performance autoworx here in modesto and he says he could get the type one racing converter in about 3-4 weeks

 

What do the initials SMSP stand for? I am what we call.... stoopid! Thanks guys!

 

Company name is SMS Products. Not sure what the SMS is.

 

Carsound Owns!!!

 

Test pipe if you don't have emissions
