FS - OEM manifold, metallic race cat
FS - OEM manifold, metallic race cat
For sale, my Frankenheader project parts as I've decided to go another direction:
- OEM header, sans cat
- Random Technology Metallic Race Cat - 2.25" inlet/outlet
- OEM Donut gasket (goes between the cat and the exhaust)
Yours for $220, which is basically the cost of the cat alone. Pickup if local, or will ship for another $20 ($240 total).
It should only cost someone about ~$80 to get the welding done and maybe another $10 to get an OEM exhaust manifold gasket.
I had planned on having the pre-cat removed and mating up the race cat... Gains on NAM have been impressive range with a gutted pre-cat and the OEM cat, so I'd say this should also be GREAT! Best part is that you retain the OEM header's flex coupling to absorb engine movement AND a cat to pass emissions, while still enjoying the benefits of the additional performance with a bulletproof OEM header...
Pic of the cat - they're small, metal matrix, and made for racing applications where a cat is required...

Cats?
Are these the cats you are talking about for $60.00 on eBay? Here is 2.25 in. metal cat. They have other sizes also. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-25-Metallic-Catalytic-Converter-HighFlow-Stainless_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33629QQitemZ8 065658956
Uh, no... mine's from Random Technology. That eBay cat is not (it's a Thunderbolt unit), is not made in the US, and is nowhere near the quality of the Random Technology unit... From what I have heard from racing buds, the Thunderbolt eBay cats are total junk...
Also, the Random Tech unit is a metal matrix - not a metal "brick".
The Random Tech unit comes with a warranty card that the buyer can send in... 5 yr/50k warranty.
