for that price, it would be worth buying a pair and having them flow tested somewhere. I've never heard of them, but the size/spec;s don't look bad.

i like the fact that they are compact and my car is pretty low. if its only gonna cost me a couple hp im down with that. my main concern though is them coming apart like the ones do in the qtp y. i think they are catco's.

those are the ceramic material ones but if you go to their actually site they have metallic ones that match to the best on the market

just saw the metallics. whats the advantage to going with a metallic over a ceramic? its not like they are much more money. it doesnt give an external case dimension but id assume they ar still a 4" outer diameter?

ceramic is more brittle than metallic thus causing them to collapse easier
