I tried searching, didn't find ****... I assume the SMSP is obviously more expensive, but what modifications to the cat are done by SMSP? Worth the money? Anyone have one? How much do they run?

Thanks dudes

 

The universal 2.5" Carsound has no flanges so you can't bolt it on to anything.

 

Oh... so you kind of need the SMSP cat unless you plan on zip tieing the ****** on?

 

Just weld the cat between your header and b pipe.

 

I have one! I'll be installing my new spoon header and SMSP carsound next week

 

SMSP welds the flanges you need and includes an o2 bung if you need one of those(and includes bolts, nuts, washers and the 2.5" donut flange you need.

SMSP = x 100

wtb: anybody have a 2.5" carsound that took a ******* they want to get rid of?

 

Hahaha.. that shouldn't be hard to find

 

Hey, you are allowed to give crappy advice as a mod? You are suppose to set an example for us or all the threads will be bombarded with crap advice.

Some noobs won't be able to tell you are just joking and might get this done

Although, this is a sure fire way to ensure no exhaust leaks. It will be a bitch to do any maintenance on your car

 

Yea i thought he was serious too

Reid for bad advice

 

there will be no flex point when the motor flex

 

2.5" donut flange? or do you mean 2.5" gasket?

 

don't forget dave at smsp welds the heatshield onto the cat so that it won't rattle. But remember, a carsound is a carsound and the chances of them blowing out is still there. The quality that Dave puts into the SMSP cats makes it worth it, and he is great with dealing with customers. My first cat from him blew out, due to Carsound's fault, not Dave's, yet Dave still replaced it.

For Dave and the SMSP products

 

I may...

 

What's the alternative to Carsound cats?

 

Yeah, WTF? This Reid guy needs to get a life, and quit being a little *****. On one hand he moderates like a bitch, but on the other, he acts like a bitch.

 

The best thing about the SMSP Carsound cat is that Dave positions the bung for the o2 sensor correctly so that when installed, the o2 sensor doesn't rub against one of the shift links. Previously I had another that did that and the rattling sound drove me crazy...

 

its worth the money if you want a bolt on cat for your standard jdm header. otherwise you'll need to order 2.5" flanges, O2 sensor and have your local shop custom fit it for your setup. Plus SMSP places extra welds around heatshield to help prevent well know carsound rattle. other cats are more expensive and i don't think flow any better.

 

Actually, I now use the 93506 cat for the JDM header applications in the ITRs. This cat is bigger than the 94066 and has (2) 3" thick bricks versus the (2) 2" thick ones in the 94066. It is also rated for upto 7.5L vesus 5.9L for the 94066. I still use the 94106 & 94166 cat for the GSR/JDM applications due to the shorter body requirements but this cat has recently seen some design changes and now uses (1) 3" thick brick versus (2) 2" thick bricks.

 

What is the wait like for an SMSP modified cat? I definately think I'll be buying one when I purchase a header in the next month or so I know the wait for headers/exhausts are a few months?

 

Let me know, y0. I`ll trade you for some winger vinyl

 

SMSP moded cat

 

I usually get them out 1-2 days after the money order is received unless I'm out of stock. I get a delivery every Monday.

 

I run a SMS Cat along with my SPOON 4-2-1. GOOD STUFF!! Dave's welds are clean and the time and quality shows!
