Default SLP cats

How good do these cats flow?

If they're still using the Random Tech's, they are some of the best cats for our cars. Excellent flow numbers, as well as bulletproof construction. Some of the other high flowing cats didn't do so well under extreme testing (NOS, etc). Chevy High Performance burned up Carsound cats under hard testing, but couldn't get the Random Techs to fail.

Bob those cats pictured are Random Techs. They are the same ones I had on my Grotyohann Y pipe and they flow excellent.

As the others have said the cats in your picture are 3" 8100-series Random Tech bullets. Thunder Racing has them listed for under $160 each (vs. $400 for the pair through SLP).

As I recall the 3" bullets are p/n 813000. I've also been told that Random Tech now produces a p/n 703000 convertor with a metallic rather than a ceramic substrate for better flow. I don't however know anything more about that part, nor was it listed on their website last time I checked. I'd contact RT by phone if you wanted to know more about them.

Edit: Oh yeah, the only flow #'s I've seen tossed around for the 813000's was around 330-340cfm. Not quite as good as the Carsounds, but these things are very small (the body is 4" dia. and around 8.5" long). The 9000-series Random Techs are larger, but should flow close to 500cfm. Random Techs have a very good reputation for durability as well.
