well my car smells like *** and Im tired of killing trees and myself but I have no faith in carsound anymore and was searching and came up on CATCO cats well they are CARB aproved for us CALI folk and are suposed to be pretty strong from what I read and high flow. SO has anybody ever tried one out?

 

How about a Dynomax cat? I know there was a thread about this recently but I couldn't find it. I think someone suggested #15187 (2-1/2") but I'm not sure.

I've had one on my truck now for about 3 years with no problems. When I go with a 2-1/2 exhaust on my Integra I'll probably go with a Dynomax cat on that too.

 

Dont lose faith in Carsound or any high flow cat for that matter. I have a CATCO right now, and mine blew out like three weeks after I had it. What people seem to say is you need to get your A/F tuned in oder not to burn out the cat.

SO no matter which one you get, they both will do the same thing if not tuned. I dont have all the info on this stored in my brain, but Im sure if you do a search you'll find the info Im talking about.

I have a CATCO. No problems so far, I run really rich, and it works fine.

 

Amen. There's alot of threads with an explanation of why cats go bad. You HAVE to tune, running rich will kill a cat, most of the time.

 

Random Technology makes a nice high flow cat

 

CATCO is carb legal in cali?

 

I have not lost faith in carsound just yet but I would liike to try something else out. The car is tuned perfectly via hondata but since we started out with a real rich map I think that is what damaged it I took off the cat this morning and the part I left in there when I took out the clump that broke apart so I guess a carsound would last this time but who knows.

What kind of gas u put in the car? If you have really high octane you will burn it out.....Like higher then 93

 

Ah, I see. Then go for it. I didnt have any problem at all with my CATCO other than it blowing out. Its put together pretty decent and flows just as good as any other out there IMHO. I just got a Carsound this time around because it was 72 bucks for a universal 2.5 highflow.

 

i've had a Catco for a while now, and i'm running fairly rich.

no problems yet *knocks on wood*

 

my catco cat is gone after 2-3 circuit days...
