The passenger side cat in my Magnaflow midpipe (stock manifolds) took a crap last week.

Less than a year installed, purchased new, not happy camper.

You could fit my cats in your pocket, amazingly quiet too.
Only time will tell as far as longevity ?

BUT THEY LOOK GREAT...



Sal had them custom made 3" x 2-1/2" so we could use them to reduce me down from the 3" Header Collector to my existing
2-1/2" exhaust

Is that a metal substrate cat? If so, it should hold up pretty well.

Random Tech cats are the absolute best. They're made specifically for very high hp and blown cars. Check 'em out.

I agree with Speedin Bob, I had the same problem with the Car Sound Maganflow cats, sorry design.

Bassani cats have been improved, they look similar to the cat pictured in Rob's post. They're holding up best of all right now.
