Metal Cats

[s13_Skyline_inside]

does anyone know which brand of metal cat is the one that meets emissions etc, the legit one?

or can anyone recommend me a good high flow cat? 3 or 3.5"

There's a place called UnderCar in Victoria. I bought a 200 Cell metal cat from them for $190. Car drove lot better after installation.

most "hi-flo" cats will probably FAIL emissions tests, all those X-Force Hi Flow Cats are useless, might as well not run a cat because they don't meet emissions requirements.

I believe the only Brand that dares to say their EPA compliant are Catco.

Don't know if it will meet emmisions but I've been using a Magnaflow cat and it flows very well, doesn't drown out the sound at all.

These are street legal. Im getting the 3.5 inch 200 cell one for mine

I have a metalcat, it lasted for just a shade short of 12 months before getting the death rattle. this was with a mildly tuned 250rwkw. no high egt's perfect afr's.

it hangs on the wall of my garage. i will never go one again,

mmm i guess when i get one I can ask for a certificate that says it meets emissions, if they are happy to give me one i guess they are confident but if they arent well ill think twice.

They are stamped with the details

Is getting a "legal" CAT actually required or is it just marketing hype?

Consider this:

If a car hypothetically meets the IM240 emission testing standards with a "non-legal" CAT.....is the car legal?

Conversely, if a car hypothetically doesn't meet the IM240 emission testing standards with a "legal" CAT......is the car legal?

Thoughts?
