There seem to be 2 HF cats commonly used. The Random Flow and the Sean Roe (poetry w/o effort). I have installed Sean Roe's oval HF cat and find the side sills are much cooler when the car can be driven and a little cooler when stuck in traffic. Not very technical but hopefully you understand. Although I have no way to directly compare the 2 I would imagine there is little difference. You might want to make a call to Sean Roe and get his opinion. He's a straight shooter and won't "sell" you.

Good luck!

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Corsa quotes +18HP with the 3" on a stock Viper, with stock cats. Zero on the 2.5".

You can do it now or do it later, but someday you'll want 3".......</FONT f>

I went with the 2.5" Corsa because they were half of the price of the 3" version, and I was going more for the better sound than the extra HP. I had a Corsa on my last Corvette and it was great because it has a nice, low, throaty burble, but not too loud at idle or cruising, but when you step on it, the sound is mean/powerful, but not with boomy resonance.

I also added Sean Roe high flow cats (the bigger ones), but again more for the lower sill temperature than the added power.

Both have done exactly what I wanted. The sound of the car is powerful but civil (unless you floor it), and the side sills are noticably cooler than stock, yet passed emmissions testing easily.

If your state doesn't sniff your behind why bother with cats?Use a straight pipe from header to cat back and Apex syms.Some think its too loud.Sounds like Lemans to me.WHAT?DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? Bruce
