Well I tried searching and came up empty. I'm looking for feedback on high-flow cats. Tell me what you would choose and why, or if you have experience with them, please share your impressions.

Thanks,
Brian.

I had a carsound cat on my SC'd prelude. I worked well.

 

carsound as well, the other are either overpriced or don't work all that well.

Alternatively, you could pick up a Car Sound without flanges for cheap and find a local muffler shop that will weld the flanges on for you. Kteller8 sells universal Car Sounds for decent prices.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

HMm on 5th gen i have heard random will work good and not give you check engine light for oxygen sensor. like focus or powerflow with basically no materail in it at all

 

just buy one on ebay

My Random Tech cat has generated no CEL's in the week that it's been on my car, the stock O2 sensor fits right onto it, unlike some other brands. My problem with it is the ID of the piping, it's 1.9", and it doesn't match the 2.3" ID of my header's piping, so there is some restriction there. It's not something that I'll change now, since I'm mostly bolt-on N/A (and it's paid for/installed), but if I wanted to go FI in the future, I would want to eliminate that possible bottleneck.

There is really not much material inside the RT cat, I tried to take some pics of it, but they wouldn't show all the way through it w/o a stronger light source. It's lighter than the stock cat (which was a REAL POS when I got a good look at it) and constructed of stainless.
