SR High Flow cat? Good or Bad?

Just wondering what people's opinions on it are. I'm debating between the RP High Flow or the SR. I've seen some threads on it and it just seems like mixed reviews. Tried to search for the SR but nothing really comes up. The SR costs more but was wondering if the reliability is good in comparison to RP and if it is worth the extra money. Don't want to get a OEM cat because it just costs more (for a new one). Any input anyone?

I'd go RP. Seems to be the more popular choice and despite reported failures on it (mine recently died), I'd still recommend them due to the fact that many people here have put plenty of miles on them without major issues.

Also, after having spoken to RP last week, I have a new found confidence in them and their products. Mine is being shipped back to them this weekend for inspection

That is a very good question. Do a search on SR.

I have not heard of it failing like RP super CAT.

most of the RP failures happened with the earlier models before they changed to the Bonez (sp?) CAT.
They seem to be much better these days.

Better but still fail.

You had the new version and it failed in one year 16k miles.

Can't remember if SR is emmission compliant.

I'm going to need a cat that will pass inspection. I currently have is what i think is a RB midpipe on (from previous owner). The SR looks like it can hook up with the o2 sensor...but you are right...i'm not sure if it will pass....Thanks for input so far =) I'm still a car newbie so i don't kno much...hehe
