OK... it really sucks that these aftermarket cats dont hold up...

I been thinking about using OEM cats out of production cars. Some trucks/cars with single exhaust systems have cats that have enough flow for 1/2 of a built exhaust system, why not just find 2 of the same and use that ?

I guarantee that you will not find an OEM cat that can flow anywheres near what an aftermarket metallic cat can flow. Even if you did, it will not be under $100 for the car.

Ceramic cats are known for blowing out, but I have yet to hear of any metallic cats blowing out.

The factory designs cats to meet emission standards, not for high flow capabilities. And once your start adding mods to your car, there is no way that a factory style cat will flow enough without being a hindrance.

PM sent with pricing.

Yep, those are the ones Oxidizr posted about (and what I'm running in my custom setup).

Best cats on the market IMHO !

Yep, I bought the 2 3/4" version for my custom exhaust system. I wish I had known the price from Eads. I paid $115.00 each for mine and the only saving grace was the free shipping. That is the best deal I have seen on them.
