ITRCA

Is there any other site on the internet that sells pre made catalytic converters for the JDM header with the flanges all ready welded on, or does anybody have a number for me to call? I tried to order the one off of hybrid garage and all I get is some kid of transaction error when ordering online and when I've called them for the past 2 weeks all I get is that their office hours have changed to "blah blah" no matter what time I call them. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks guys.

Have you passed the emission test yet?

I've passed emissions a number of times with my high flow cat. It's not an SMS, but it's essentially the same style made by Hybrid Garage (Adrian Teo).

good to know, Just wanted to make sure before I got one.

hybrid garage has been pretty lame lately.. i ordered something, left about a million voicemails, and no response.. waited a month before i talked to my credit card company. http://www.mufflertech.com/ has a high flow cat (car sound with flanges welded on) it's ghetto, but it works

Thanks for all the replies guys, I did find a few but now I'm not sure...
The muffertech.com is just like the carsound with the flanges for $110 I believe, and the landspeedracing.com is supposedly the powercore high flow cat? Is it really worth the $250? I'm not trying to throw cheap parts on the R but the extent of my modding is going to be the JDM DC Sports 4-1 header (All ready have) high flow cat, cat back exhaust and that's about it, maybe some other minor accessories but certainly nothing major. Any thoughts or suggestions on which one? Thanks for the help again.

i dont have to go through emissions

Me neither. =)
But for everybody's information, I did order the mufflertech.com JDM cat (not really JDM cat but you know what I mean) with welded flanges and such on Monday (Feb 1st??) Kinda awkward since there is no "checkout" system, you basically just paypal them the money. I didn't feel too comfortable with this and nowhere in my receipt from paypal does it actually list what I ordered, so I sent a follow up e-mail letting them know it was the JDM cat with the 2.5" collector blah blah. Nothing yet but I've IM'ed a few people that have ordered from them and they said yea, it's kinda awkward but none of them had any problems. Sorry for the long post but I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it.

Sorry to bring this back up from the dead but I thought I'd update it a bit for anybody thinking about ordering from mufflertech.com. After a week and 2 days I called them (February 10th) to check on the order. He took my name and number down and told me he'd have his qife check into the order asap. Well, I received my cat today (February 14th) in perfect condition. So it turned out good for me and they were a good company to deal with. Thanks again for all the help with sites that carry the pre-made cats for the JDM header.

Did you bolt it up yet?

Nah not yet, coming this Monday or Tuesday I'll be ordering the cat back exhaust then I'll bolt everything on at once. For some reason I just like doing it that way better than peice at a time. I'll let ya guys know when I do though. I never got a 1/4 time in stock form (plus intake) but I got an 1/8 of 9.5 @ 76 so I'll have a little something to compare when I bolt on the header and exhaust components.

Just remember there are many different types of Carsound cats, they don't all perform the same and they aren't all OBDII compliant.
