Title says it mostly. I am a visual learner so figured a poll would be good for us to reference.
I know there are several threads about cats and all pretty similar BUT I feel like many times you only hear the bad feedback when people have problems and those with limited issues don't search for it out on the forum.
When I say CEL I mean one that pops up that can be cleared every few hundred miles vs limited or no CEL at all.
It seems regardless of HFC or Test Pipes you need a combination of O2 extenders, Mini Cats, OEM gaskets to reduce chances of CEL. Heat blankets or Cryo Coating are also smart adds. It is obvious to say the 400/600 cell HFC will have less issues than a 200 cell or Test Pipe.
For those who have them any tips, tricks, or combo of what worked for you would be appreciated.
I have Stainless Works HFC's going on soon with the above mitigating parts as well. Willing to have the occasion CEL but shooting for limited/no issues.
The shop got all the parts but the 2M Fabrications Blankets and O2 Spacers I had ordered.
The blankets looks pretty solid quality for under $300 shipped. The stitching is pretty uniform and the hardware is very secure in the blanket. I am sure next to ones that cost 2x there are some differences in quality but this isn't a top of the line build.
Car goes in Sept 15th for the Stainless Works HFC.
