I am confused at this statement.

I understand the first part, it flows 87% as well as a test pipe would. But, the second part, are you saying it flows 43% better than an OEM cat?

And what year s2k was the testing done on?

 

Dynos please.

 

I too am wondering about this statement. I think what we all are looking for is if it flows any better than the OEM cat, since it's considered high-flow anyways.

 

I think he means that the OEM Cat. Flows Only 43% of the Testpipe...

 

It sounds like what he's saying is that an OEM cat flows 43% as well as a test pipe (meaning the test pipe flows 57% better than the OEM cat). This high flow cat flows 87% as well as a test pipe, so in other words, it flows 44% better than the OEM cat but 13% worse than a test pipe.

If this really is 100% smog legal and won't throw a CEL, this is awesome. I never went the test pipe route because I knew it would never pass smog, especially with the CARB nazis here in CA. Then again, my ebay CAI isn't CARB approved so I'm probably screwed anyway unless I can convince them it's an AEM...

 

Yes, regular price is $299.99. Right now they are on 25% off. Your price is $224.99 right now.

Yes. These metallic core cats are perfect for forced induction. Relentless Autosports just pushed over 500 rwhp through our cats on one of their twin turbo G35's. Same cat core, different car, but you get the picture. That G35 will be shipped back to Germany soon but I'm sure it'll do it's own round of media appearances here in the states first.

Correct. You should dyno within 1hp of a test pipe with our cat.

Weight approx 45% less than the stock cat. Stock cat weighs ~13 lbs, our high flow cat weighs less than 7lbs.

So far has not thrown a CEL on our test 06 & 03 cars.

Can't go lower than what we are doing already. The only way I can do better is if we come up with some sort of combo on this w/ our header.

Or if you have already purchases our header in the past I'd be more than happy to work something for you guys. We're big on repeat business.

Only the flow bench data. We're having HCI magazine do a tech article on our header & high flow cat. I'll have the before/after dyno's on that car.

We can only run one group buy at a time, right now we have our header group buy. But these are already at the price that the group buy would be at.

I can only work something for you if you already purchased our header in the past, or will purchase them together.

No CARB EO on this. The CARB laws are bit sketchy for replacing cats on newer cars (post 1996 cars). Read up on the CARB laws if you need further clarification (or confusion )

For CA only, the cat is smog legal (will pass the sniffer test), but isn't technically CARB legal.

For all other states, it is fully legal.

You are correct.

 

How long has it been on your 06, i.e milage and day wise. Any idea if it were to throw a cel how long it would take?

 

I figured it was something like that. IIRC you're not supposed to touch the cat by law, unless a smog tech certifies that you're in need of a new one in order to pass.

Oh well, they won't know the difference.

 

This is 100% illegal in CA.

You cannot use a non-oem cat within the warranty period with the possible exception of theft and then you need a police report on the theft and a letter from the installer. If outside the warranty period (which is 7+ years) you need a letter saying your old one was defective.

That's the legal side, but honestly it would be a cold day in hell for you to get caught with this on.

AND I will be ordering one... Tomorrow.

 

How many miles will this last for?

And is there a 3" in the works?
