Post Hi Flow Cats Going Bad.

I've seen this post before, but what I want to know is: What does it sound like?

The cats to buy are Random Technology http://www.randomtechnology.com/ (Call this guy and find out what you need, he owns a gen II). There suppose to be the cats a$$.

Bassani just recently supposedly changed their cat supplier because of all the problems.

Just get under and knock on your Cats and you'll hear them answer.
Bassani told me I was the only one with bad Cats.... Thousands of Exhausts sold, never had a problem.

My Bassani's went bad after 4months. Could not get any response from them. Wacked them out and put it some cheap ones. Truck runs fine now.

Question

noelvm...have you talked to Randomtech, or know anyone running their cats? The dyno #'s look pretty good if the price isn't to steep for them. Wonder if they ever tested a "L" our exhaust is acceptable from the factory. Didn't that one mag say we only had 2% blockage?
