I noticed no drop in power when I put my 3" magnaflow cats into my duals. This is with a large cam making around 400rwhp.

The random tech's are sweet, but I wouldn't pay that much for them.

Love em. They take away the rasp and look sleek under the car. Chose them because they flow almost as well as an open pipe, and are constructed of stainless steel.

You do have to pay though. Not cheap. If they are used ask for a pic of the outside. Large dents and scratches could indicate internal catalyst material damage.

You probably wont get $100 for used Mag. Cats. The Random Techs are great cats though. If you have the bullet type Mag Cats don't worry about changing. The larger diameter ones, such as those on the QTP Ys, have have many blowouts.
