i have comptech header and rsr exhaust, with stock cat right now. i have a carsound cat but no 02 bung or flanges. i searched and seems some ppl had rattling problems after the carsound cat. now i'm wondering if its worth paying for the flanges and stuff...or should i just stick with stock cat.
was there a noticeable difference when you went from stock to carsound?
any advice?

 

i actually have abeen researching about the carsound cat for a while now..i have a dc 4-2-1 and a greddy catback with the stock cat and was in your situation on debating whether it was worth it or not..of course everyones going to say it is because the stock cat is a huge bottleneck with the header and catback you have..i doubt there would be any noticeable difference with the carsound but just knowing its freeing up a few ponies you should go forth and get the flanges and bungs..im planning to install mine soon from ipsracing..if installed right there shouldnt be rattling..go for it!
(hey i just noticed your the guy i got the skunk2 gears from..theyre on now and great!)

 

well mine started rattling because the insides fell aparts but the stock cat is something like 1.8", so getting rid of that bottle neck will definately help.

 

how long did you have it until it fell apart? was the car tuned?

 

2 weeks....i have a safc and a fpr, but everything is tuned to stock.

 

dang that sucks..i made a thread a while ago on teamintegra about how long people had their carsound cats..ranging from months to 2 years even..

 

glad they worked out ok for you. post here if you get the cat in before me

yea ended up being a $200 straight pipe after buying it and having the bung welded in...
