Default Pacesetter Hi-flow cats help please!?

Hi,

I was just about to order a pair of cats for my WS6, i found Pacesetter 80-0018 3 inch inlet and outlet cats the best priced units for shipping and import to the UK. Summit & Jegs state they are metallic substrate units, but i thought i would ring pacesetter direct and check - Pacesetter say part number 80-0018 have ceramic honeycombs!? they gave me an alternative part number 80-0068 but its almost $70 more.

Is anybody running the 80-0018 units and can confirm if they are metallic or ceramic? i suppose i should trust the manufacturer helpline but surely Jegs and Summit plus other retailers cant all be wrong?

Thanks!

That's what I'm running on mine (80-0018), they are on the car right now so unfortunately I cannot check (welded). But I do remember the inside core feeling like metal; but I wasn't looking for confirmation either, just curiosity. According to Summit they are a metallic honeycomb.
