i'm pretty sure they are cats, if they weren't, there wouldn't be O2 bungs behind them. It would be pointless

LOL yup I got the ban for it, well it was my bad about posting a price, but Im all over the e-bay heaers, I can tell you anything you wanna know about them.

BTW-this thread *SHOULDNT* be locked since its technical, no pricing has been given out or comparisons to sponsor sold headers
