Default Better hi-flow cat for FI

I am running FI, see specs in my signature, and I need a new cat.

Which is better for an SC car, Berk or Random Technology?

Discuss! I did search and really didn't find anything useful.

The RT is way more expensive than the Berk but I don't want to have to replace it again if it can't handle FI

I've had 2 berk cats on my car and the latest one I got was different than the first. This one had the berk emblem welded on the side and the substrate inside looked like It had some sort of coating on it, to hold it in place?. I haven't heard any buzzing or rasping out of this one. Ive used it for 20k miles. All of them boosted with some track days.

my Berk HFC cat fell seperated itself from the housing and rotated sideways blocking exhaust flow. this caused big problems with my supercharged setup as you could imagine.

Ouch, wonder if that was a fluke accident. I am running 11psi on a comptech and mine is ok, the medium is alittle loose but it hasnt caused a restriction yet. I have a TP on but taking it off because its alittle too loud for my taste.

Thanks for the information on the Berk, that one is definitely out!

Anyone tried the Random?
