Just thought I would put this website I found surfing on the net earlier. Thier universal High-Flow Cats for our car from Kamikaze and Magnaflow.

I would get a Metallic core converter, instead of the usual ceramic. Metallic flows more.

 

where can you get a metallic core converter from??? Whats the price range for these?? Also, would it still pass emmisions and be obd II safe??

 

it might pass emissions but it wont pass visual if they know what to look for. under the federal law with cats, ur not supposed to tamper, remove, modify, replace unless the unit is defective. even if it was you have to buy a obd2 unit.

 

It's a federal offense to tamper with a functioning catalytic converter.

You know what that means? If something were to accidentally punch a hole in your cat, you'd be forced to buy a new one. In that case, you could get any CARB legal high flow cat. Magnaflow has a few.

 

does anyone know if that cat is legal in California because im pretty sure my cat has gone bad... and its cheaper from the company directly...

re : Catalytic ConverterMy dad says the pacesetter exhaust, Does anyone know if a OEM catalytic conv. could bolt on.

 

re : magnaflow catalytic converterMy dad owned the pacesetter axleback, Im trying to fin out if the walker catalytic converter could bolt on.

 

Walker, nor Magnaflow, nor Vibrant or any brand will replace the stock one because it's part of the header. If you are up for some custom fab work, you can make one work, but again it's a lot of work.

Personally, I have only used Random Technology since working here. Their cats are 49 state legal (CA will not pass because no aftermarket will pass). The cats have FULL 304SS bodies on them not not rust, and still have SUPER flow. We've used them on Vipers, Elises, Ferraris, EVOs, Supras, STis.....flawless. They offer a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty too!

The cats they offer come in a metallic or ceramic substrate. The metallic flows more, but costs more. The ceramic flows less and costs less.

Here are all of the universals....

The best way to get this to work IMO would be to run a header of choice and have the cat fabbed somewhere into the s-pipe. With the RT Metallic bullet style converter, it shouldn't be an issue.

 

i got the magnaflow and it flows well, im getting a cell for the cat bank one
