The words cheap and good do not go hand and hand.
Your going to get what you pay for. A lot of times cheap high flow cats. flow worse than stock. Be very carefull.

I've read some posts on the carsounds failing anywhere from 6 months to 2 years after install. Do a search on carsounds.

Check out the CarSound 94100 series without AIR here. These are the cats I purchased and I haven't had any problems with them at all. And the price can't be beat.

If I remember correctly, Barry from QTP made a post a few months ago showing flow numbers from several high-flow cats. A set of CarSounds were nearly on par with the significantly more expensive Random Technology cats.

I would certainly recommend them.

I totally agree with B-Man, you get what you pay for. Overly expensive isn't always the answer, but rock bottom prices aren't worth it either. If you've got the modding bug, and you're going to be putting some money into your ride, why go cheap? Failure down the road b/c of cheap parts is a no go in my book.
