Anybody have the part numbers for the RT CATs that can be bolted up to a set of SW Headers?

Thanks,

The ones that I ordered are the 3" in and 3" out slip fit bullets. Part # is 14130000. Martell Bros used to have the best price but are now no more. http://www.ultrarev.com/storefront-c0.html now has the best price that I know of.

I "believe" the 141's are ceramic core.

I thought the same thing but it seems that 703000 is the old part number. 141-30000 is the new number for the same cat.
http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=42595 206.00 each.

BTW, 59.00 for a hi-flow cat! If they flow the same and are of similar quality that's one helluva deal.

The C5 and F-Body guys use them often. For the price and being that they are metallic substrate I can't see how they would be a bad choice.

Default The "409"!

The primary drawback to the #415300's advertised specs is the "409 stainless". It's not much better at managing condensation than just plain carbon steel. It is the least expensive stainless out there. Random doesn't display the stainless grade that I can see but it would be worth the asking before a buy.
In a weld on environment I believe I'd want the something better than maybe the "409"! Condensation likely leads to the "ruination" of the Borla systems everyone mentions.

need to see the CFM flow data. sounds cheap, for sure the random cats are expensive, but they flow over 600 cfm and definitely work.

I'd like to try these other ones on "removable" cats as they sure would save some coin. the advantage of the randoms is that from my standpoint they are proven.

I want to install my SSW headers too and in the market for some CATs. Is this a get what you pay for and I should only consider the Random Techs; it sure would be nice to save some $ where possible? I don't need CATs here in Hawaii, but it is the responsible thing to do for our environment and I imagine I want to keep the noise down with my B & Bs. Well, if I can afford the Raptor TTs, then I guess it my B & Bs would just gather dust and cobwebs.
