Yes I did! Incredible customer service, even taking time for a Sunday phone call. I had them only a few days later when everyone else was backordered!
Any horsepower gains with the Corsa cats? I prefer not to deal with codes.
Corsa (and all their competitors that use the same GESi G-Sport GEN2 S-Wound 400-cell cores) all claim +12whp and my dyno results lined up with that based on my mods at the time. There was a noticable seat-of-the-pants improvement, somewhere between that of my intake and headers. I'm going on 2 years with them installed without issues or codes. Happy to pull the exact mileage & time if desired.

The 400-cell S-wound flows about like a traditional 300-cell, but a 200-cell will be louder and flow more, regardless. You'll also have a higher likelihood of triggering a CEL. The cheap generic 200-cell cores sold by 2M and others are worthless, just get cat-deletes at that point (I suggest EOS). If you want a real 200-cell, you're looking at some serious bucks with the German HJS cores vs. the North American GESI 400-cell cores. While the HJS cores are approved under European standards, they are technically not 49-state EPA certified.
Hi flo, w cats, quality ones like the 200 cell German units used on Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc., produce a noticeable increas in hp. If I had installen them on my 2019 Shelby GT350, same engine design as Z06, just larger engine, the increase would be atleast 25 rwhp. Not cheap, but effective.
I was looking at this ARH video, and the guy said they installed "aftermarket" 300 CEL sport cats with the ARH's and it gave no measurable gains, and said they are not worth it. I have the 2M 200 CEL sport cats and Paragon headers yet to be installed. I'm just wondering if the sport cats are worth it. For the record, I'm not spending $1500-3k on sport cats either.

Nonsense. They're running a prototype set of ARH cats on a well-known C8 drag racer's car and picked up additional power.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Yes, they're trying 1 3/4", 1 /7/8", and 2" headers to see which had the highest gains. He then comments on the 300 CEL sport cats and clearly said they really didn't add any additional power/gains. He also said that may be different with an aftermarket exhaust, but with the stock NPP, they do nothing. What does he gain by lying about them?
I can speak about this with insight, it's my car in the video. I raced and data logged the car extensively on the track and the dyno since new in 2020. Up until last year I was running the stock cats with all the mods you could think to add. I went as quick as 10.20@133+ on the stock tune and factory cats, I reached out to Nick @ARH to try those prototype cats on my car to improve my e.t.
It was a different day and a different time but the DA was comparable and I gave the Gesi cats a try. I used the 1/8 to 1/4 data to eliminate some starting line variables like 60' and any traction issues and took data from my 7 best passes from each day. I saw Zero lowering of time from mid track to finish and a 1 mph gain in speed. The weight savings is nice and I do still have them on the car ( I like the sound a lot better) but I was disappointed in the results. The factory cat is very very good.
Their is a reason why you can't buy aftermarket cats from ARH, he won't sell a product that doesn't perform.
I don't knock companies and their claims of gains, this is just my experience.

Surprised You haven't installed the cats yet. I would love to hear the combo with the paragon headers in person if you ever get to them
Im waiting until after the 7500 DCT service, which will be in the Spring. I’m concerned it may be too loud with both. I want it louder, but not obnoxious.
