Not everyone likes or can handle the smell of a non-catted car. Not to mention possible issues with passing a sniff test.

View their catalog and they mention the rate inside. Also they fix the substrate rattle by a unique end cap.
Being legal is expensive. LOL

Thanks, for the tip.

One of our customers that has our front mount turbo kit with a 414ci. motor and high flow cats is not having any issue's after almost 8000miles. Even a few of our customers have stock cats without issue's.

The stock cats are constructed better than the aftermarket. Ted explained all the ins and outs somewhere on here which is why the stock cats seem to last longer.

Yeah, looking at the stock cats versus aftermarket says it all. I was amazed at the difference in construction quality at least from what it seems. I just put the stock cats back on to be on the safe side. When I took the JBA cats off the subtrates in the shells were shifting side to side when I turned the pipes upside down. They were still in tact but really loose for some reason. That can't be a good sign.

Not really sure yet put them on just before the fest. Drove out and had trans issues. Drove home and the car has been in the shop since. I did attempt a few passes at the fest but the car fell flat on it's face. Hopefully will get my car back next week and will be able to get better info.

The car I was referring to has aftermarket cats on it. They are Highflow cats from American Racing.
