Good high flow CAT?
I'm planning on changing my main CAT and I've mainly been recommended two high flow CATS.
Magnaflow and Ramdomtech
Heres what I found for the Magnaflow, but I was told I would have to have it welded on my exhaust.

Witch one is better? the Magnaflow is only 35$ but I know I need to have it welded, but I've heard Random tech can simply be bolted on.

Randomtech is better but WAY more expensive +$200 per cat. RandomTech flows around 500cfm. Magnaflow is made by Carsound and flow 400+CFM which is fine for most cars, unless you have ExTrEmE mods.

I can't find a comparison of Carsound to RandomTech, but here's a website that compares several brands from an LS-1, including Carsound.

Re: Good high flow CAT? (CentralCoaster)
The 3" RandomTech can flow 500 cfm, and the 2.5" Carsound flows 400 cfm.
But.. this is all apples to oranges. Carsound also makes a 3" cat, i'm looking for numbers on it.
a 3 inch cat has 40% more crosssectional area than a 2.5 inch.

Re: Good high flow CAT? (CentralCoaster)
So? I guess the Magnaflow Carsound Catalytic Converter is one of the best on this comparison chart.
I think for the price... 35$ us compared to 200$ for a Ramdomtech... is a lot cheeper.
hmmm I'll see what I end up doing... I know that Magnaflow has to be welded and the Ramdomtech can be bolted on.

Re: Good high flow CAT? (TheStef)
This compares the Carsound (Magnaflow) and bullit Random Tech. The Carsound outflows the RT. The metallic RT flow the best, but are very $$$$.

According to David Vizard,
2.5" Carsound Catalytic Converter = 436.7 cfm @ 28" H2O
According to Quick Time Performance of NJ,
3.0" Carsound Catalytic Converter = 400.0 cfm @ 28" H2O
Something doesn't add up here. :skep: There's no way a 2.5" cat should outflow a 3"
