200 Cel Sports Cat recommendations?
ROH ECHT:
Magnaflow 59959

Yeah I imported a big Magnaflow cat from Summit Racing for my Corrado VR6 turbo, and it always got through the smog test with ease.
Roll forward to my ED30 with an APR downpipe, which had a GESI cat in it, which is supposed to a good one......crap. Failed immediately.
OllieVRS:
Thanks for the replies lads.
For those suggesting the magnaflow 59959 (@Pudding and @ROH ECHT :happy2:), how is that welded in, just replacing the standard cat on the OEM downpipe? And the pre-cat is left in, so I assume that's something I have to ask the welder to delete as well?
It seems like less hassle getting a whole generic sports cat down pipe off eBay, but if the Magnaflow is really such good value for money I'd like to find out how it's supposed to be installed and also how people deal with the pre-cat too.
Cheers.

Not that i have any experience here, but assuming the mangnaflow is as good quality as the guys are saying, i would be tempted to buy a cheap non cat performance downpipe and weld it into that.
That way youre getting a better flowing downpipe with a better quality cat than you would in most of the off the shelf catted downpipes that wont get you past emmisions anyway

MP Developments do a good looking DP and sports cat, a few people recommended them to me.
