It's just hard to believe that everybody is making their own Cats, considering how expensive it must be? The government has this Cat $#!+ wrapped up tight, which is why you cant even ship or sell certain products in California; in fact, its practically the whole reason for even having emissions laws. I gotta imagine that the government is all over Cat manufactorers, giving them hell during the entire process!?! A while back, someone stated in this forum that one of the "Big Names" had their High Flow Cats made in Canada, yet claim their product to be 100% USA Crafted? Whatever happened to an answer to that question? CRICKETS.... Don't get me wrong; I understand the American Made Argument; however, lets keep it real! You either made it or you didn't... and if you didn't, where did you get it from? IMO, I believe "SOME" manufacturers are focusing solely on the American Made Argument, while at the same time neglecting the fact that they are using Cats that they actually know nothing about... Considering this, what difference does it make? Perhaps the product is 50/50... the BEST & WORST of both worlds!?! I don't see any shame in telling the truth about these products... Hell, at least TSP told us that they use Magnaflow Cats, (at least that's what I read in this forum; without rebuttal), which I think was great because Magnaflow makes good products anyway and at least we know where the Cats come from! (Not trying to knock Canada or any other country... I know our cars were made in Canada with LOTS of parts from Mexico, among other places)... I'm just saying...

So far I have found out that Stainless Works cats are made by Random Technology out of Loganville, Ga. and Kooks cats are made by GESi in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
