Aftermarket catalytic conveters any good?
Has anyone replaced their cat with an aftermarket version? I found a bunch of places selling DEC replacements really cheap. I did a search but there didn't seem to be a consesus on the quality of aftermarket cats in general. I am just suspect since the OEM cat is around 1200-1300 and the DEC cats are around 300. I just don't want to spend the money and end up still having performance issues.

Just don't use the gaskets they provide! Had to replace thier gaskets in less than 100 miles
BTW, I have about 35k on the random cat No CEL problems until recently. Not 100% sure if it is my cat. Going to autozone to get readout next time the CEL turn on.

Re: My high flow went in with my turbo kit, so I dont know if there way any difference...
no the ATP Stage 2 actually but with a GT28RS, with GT28R style housing, which will fit in a stock cat or in this case the direct bolt on random hi-flow ....

Re: where did you get it.....
I dont see why not.. but a high flow on a natural aspirated... dont think it will make much of a difference..power wise..
but then again .. i'm not a mechanic or anything :P
