Look at Helix, HKS, SARD, Apexi. Be sure to buy the metallic ones.

You need to know the cpsi values. The lower the better.

Stock cat is around 400~500 cpsi (2,5")
RandomTech is around 300cpsi (metal version) (2,5 or 3")
SARD 175cpsi (2,75")
HKS 150cpsi (2,75")
Apexi 130cpsi (3")
helix (?) (3")

Make your choice

thanks guys.
I just ordered one thru z1auto.

Now my other question is...is it a pain in the @$$ to remove the rear o2 sensor?

Any easy way to do so?

I'd say the most important thing is that you get a good flowing cat with a METAL core. I'd advise against any of the ceramic units for our application.

I like it, ran it on both my Evos and was only around 8hp less then a car with equal mods on the same dyno. I have no complaints about it.
