Carsound is the best constructed high flow cat I've had experience with. The other I've played with was a random tech cat, and it was falling apart after a single MI winter.

 

carsound

 

I've never heard anything bad about Carsound before, I have heard bad things about RT however. I do like my carsound cat though.

 

oh ok cuz i've heard people going through a lot of carsound cats, but if they're all good then i'll prob get one.
but wat size? I need it to bolt up to a GReddy 4-2-1 header and 65 mm exhaust piping

 

carsound are very good and they do have a warrenty on them

car-sound.com

but wat size

 

if you have a 2.5" collector, then get a 2.5" cat and 2.5" Exhaust

worry more bout the downpipe to cat connection then the cat to exhaust connection

 

I dont know who was telling you bad stuff about carsound because they are pretty much the best aftermarket high flow cat that you can get

bump

 

take it to a muffler shop and they will get it all done for you..

it wont line and bolt up 100% perfect. but will be damm close

 

that's the thing i don't wana do
fo 2 resons maybe mo but i can only think of 2 fo now:
1.I like to do every thing i posibly can my self
2.Every place arround here is ****, and i espesially don't trust shops arround here

if i was going to bring it to a muffler shop i would get a custom 2.5" stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust piping from here: http://www.accordinglydone.com/store/catalog/ and have them weld the hangers and **** on...


but any ways i wana learn how to do this my self

 

well then get a welder and order that piping kit.. and go to work

its not that hard.. just takes some time and its not that expensive of an item to try on... plus its good stuff

Shrugs ive tested an item or two yeah

maybe i used jedi mind trick??

 

how about ractive high flow CC?? are they good??

 

I'm unaware of anything labeled ractive that's any good. Perhaps there are exceptions however.

 

wat if i got:
RANDOM TECHNOLOGY: HI-FLOW CAT for an INTEGRA 94-95 GSR
RANDOM TECHNOLOGY: HI-FLOW CAT INSTALLATION KIT for 94-95 GSR
GREDDY HEADER for an INTEGRA 94-99 GSR (4-2-1,1PC),
RS-R GT2 exhaust system (60mm)

would they all bolt up with out having to weld any thin or add any thin else????

 

All of the flow numbers I've seen indicate that Carsound is your best choice in terms of a high-flow cat., and there are companies that can provide you with a Carsound that will bolt-up directly to your application.

 

Car-Sound.com
also Carsound are Carp ok and EPA approved! Comes with Warrenty papers too~

I always suggest SMSP. He built my Carsound, and the welds, fit, etc. were top-shelf.
