Where can i get a hi-flow cat?
#2
I've been considering an RP Supercat, here is one vendor I found by search, but I've never used them so perhaps someone who has can chime in.

it's only 400 bucks, if you're going to go through the trouble of changing one anyway why not shell out a few extra clams and get better performance and sound out of the deal?

I emailed them and asked if the check engine light will be on with that cat and they haven't replied, I don't think it will though. my wish list is bigger than my bank account so I'm still deciding what I will buy next, but this is definitely on the list.

RX7 store is not the same as rx7.com, so I just wanted to clear that up. Rx7.com is Rotary Performance and they are awesome. They have really good customer service and have replaced a few cats free of charge, so wcs may want to check into that maybe? Catalytic converters are super expensive and the RP supercat is actually a pretty cheap alternative. California does suck when it comes to stuff like cars though.

So you are correct I should have said rx7.com Rotary Performance, they have a very good reputation.
This is the link to were I bought the cat from ....

I considered calling them up about my Catalytic failing however I am convinced that even if they did replace my RP Supercat that it would fail anyway.
But Thanks for the tip
I still have my OEM Cat and it passed the e-test and its not hard to switch midpipes so meh.... I'm going to gut the catalytic in the RP Supercat and see how that works.
I think that its especially relative here where sgt has to meet Cali emissions standards, that most if not all aftermarket Hi Flow Cats will fail, imo.
So unfortunately SGT could be spending money on a Cat that will not pass, and if his OEM cat is still good enough to pass why not just go straight to a midpipe with no Cat?

the rp-supercat didnt last a month on my procharged rx8 however not sure about smog
a better one was from srmotorsports and lived over 6+ months (lost the car after that) and passed smog
keep in mind the first time you use the srmotorsports cat it will smell bad for about 10 kms or longer depending on how hot you get it and how quick
