Here are some pics of the Type2 Carsound Cat I bought from the Hybrid Garage for my R header (when I finally get it!). I bought it for $119.99/shipped and it already has the o2 bung and flanges. I also got the hardware from Dave, aka SMSP.

Thanks to Dawn Teo for all her help at the Hybrid Garage!

Hopefully the pics work from Imagestation:

looks great, any differences?

 

looks like the 53006, same 1 i got.

 

I bought mine used and it didn't come with any gaskets.... so right now I don't have a gasket between my cat and exhaust. Should I get one and where can I get one. IT doesnt seem to be leaking at all

 

I would get the gaskets, i'm sure your exhuast is leaking a little bit w/o the gaskets in place. Even if you can't hear it or notice a decrease in power...

 

Is that 2.5" OD at the inlet and 2.25" OD at the outlet?

I wanna know too

 

Where can you get the gasket that goes between the cat and the exhaust?

It's hard to say about the cat since I also installed the R header, which made a very noticable difference. I haven't beed to the dyno yet so I don't know how much of a diff it made. But the power from about 5k rpm's and up feel great. It's a lot smoother due to the larger JDM R header.

Try NAPA. Make a cut-out of the flange and bring it with you to make sure you have the right size.

 

type2 carsound cat? what is that? a new version or something?

 

i plan on getting a jdm 4-1 itr header and 2.5" carsound cat too... i have a 99 gsr. on hybrid garage, what length cat did you buy? there are 3 different sizes for a 96-01 gsr. also, why are the cat sizes different for a "96-01" obd1 gsr than an obd2 gsr? and this cat bolts right up to the header and exhaust, right? no custom anything needed?

Yeah it's confusing. Best to just give them a call.

 

Isnt the thing on the left the 02 sensor, if so wouldnt that be the side that connects to your header (im not correcting you) im jw cause ppl are asking wich side is which.

I got a 54306. That's probably why I had to cut my b-pipe. It was about 2-2.5 inches too long.

Yes, I believe the one I have has the 2.5 Inlet and 2.25 outlet. But I forgot to measure it. Next time I'm under the car I'll have to do some measurements.

SMSP (Dave) on this board is who I bought mine from.

The o2 bung goes to the b-pipe side. The JDM R header has an o2 bung on the end of the header itself. So for OBDII cars you have places for both sensors.

 

I hope all of these guys getting the JDM 4-1's aren't sitting too low. Might tear your header to hell...

alright thx, i wasnt sure.

 

kinda OT...how much does a CAT change the tone of the car...b/c i love the way my integra sounds...Greddy exahust, dc 4-1 header, aem cai...but no cat...i have thought about it but i am scared its ganna mess up the tone i got goin now..and give me a nasty ricey one..?

 

Not sure how much the cat changed the tone, but the R header emits a lower throatier(sp?) tone. It's pretty sweet!

 

well as long as it dont sound ricey...does yours??

 

when i added my header and cat, my greddy became very loud
