Awesome..

I found a local shop that will cut out my RP Cat and wield in another for $150.00. Not sure what brand High Flow Cat it is but he using them on Z06 Custom builds.

Yeah a Corvette will see EGT's about 600-800F lower than a typical Renesis. I have seen 1800F on mine and that was read at the cat and that was on a stock tune.

Damn I was searching for HSJ No wonder I couldn't find anything. I was close. That is pretty cheap, IIRC they were like $1,000.00 or something when I last looked.

Edit:

Yeah the units are pricey.

Go rich, global warming, go lean, acid rain....get a cat, pay for the mining of gold, palladium and platinum and add to carbon dioxide levels.

The reality is that in order to properly "Care" for our environment, get a bike and pedal to work, though burning more calories means you'd have to eat more, which increases your footprint on earth too.

It's always a trade off.

Find me a catalytic convertor that doesn't burn up in 30k on a renesis that's been tuned and I will stop spreading my lies.

Yeah there is a thread here as well. The username of the guy is Kruiser. At first I thought it was BS build that would never get finished but he proved me wrong.
