Need high flow cat - Mil.spec??

Hey guys,

I'm still with the stock cat and for somereason want to spend some money.

I have seen that mil.spec is good, but was wondering what you guys have experienced.

I need a cat for emissions, no test pipe sorry.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Yeah, stock original. The shield just came loose the other day and is now rattling. I looked at it when i did the exhaust and it seems fine.

If you're getting a HFC the only choice is a Mil.Spec 100-cell.

i use the 100 cell mil.spec..ill never reccomend another piece its everything they say. Just make sure you get the 5 dollar cel fix or it gets annoying seeing the light. Power wise its the closest thing youll get to a test pipe (dyno proven like 5hp less) and still be legal. Dont quote me but aftermarket cats are legal after 100k miles due to wear and tear on stock from what ive heard.

Lots of guys have had success with our cat. It's the ultimate solution if you want power without the testpipe smell. No other cat flows more than ours unless you're talking about a $600 HJS unit from Germany...in which case they'll flow the same.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Only for 95 and older cars......

95 and newer get the OBD2 test, and a visual inspection.

I got a perrin 200 cell hfc for $175. Only reason why I got it. I'm not that ridiculously power hungry. I looked through the oem cat and compared it to the perrin....huge difference yet they still do the same thing.

I've tracked the hell outta my Mil.Spec 100 cell cat (needed to run a cat due to RTA rules) and have had ZERO problems with it...
