Dynatech is low cost which is a good thing because you'll need to change it often ...

As for Team, his "if it ain't expensive and hard to source- it's crap" attitude applies for most everything- from endlinks to coilover to exhaust component selection. Reminds me of the Mike Myers SNL "Welcome to All Things Scottish - if it's not Scottish, it's craaaapp!!" skits. Just substitute "Scottish" with "used by TeamRX8."
Like I said, I'm willing to try the Dynatech cat out to see how it holds up. Dynatech makes decent products which I'm familiar with (coming from the LS1 world). If it works, it works. If it fails, I'll post up the failure.

ah,
smart like tuna, read between the lines.
the truth is i doubt like team anything at that price point will hold up.
i have not seen photos of the core of what your are using.. but what is in mine is very open... as the dyno showed..
the hi flow cat i had before lasted about 20k miles, and was not so hi flow..
as to the o2 bung. i am thinking outside the box..
would love to see a photo of the core of your cat.

Why is your project doomed? O2 bung location affecting your sensor readings?

Here's a photo of the Dynatech catalytic. Its core is rather standard. If I get 20K miles out of it, I'm a happy man.
Where did you have your O2 sensor mounted? I'm going to try to mimic the RP Supercat pipe's cat and O2 sensor location with my setup (though anything other than stock O2 sensor to cat to header collector location relationship is less than ideal).

if you could send me a photo big style to my screen name@gmail.com of the inside.
but from the photos you have flow is going to be an issue..
if you go back in this thread a bit you will see a big difference.
but who knows what will live!!

I'm afraid in this instance you either pay up front...or pay later when they burn out and you end up buying the expensive one anyway.
If you are price conscious...run without one..or gut a cheap one so it looks like there is one..and put up with the smell

Apologies on my end to Team, alnielsen, and to the forum for anything I may have written which is not in character with the forum's manner.
Carlos.

it looks small and the lack of tapering transistion isn't going to help

maybe.
but it is mounted in a very unconventional way.. and until i pull the mid pipe / cat i cant say for sure. thought i was going to happen this weekend.. but i have no garage and my tranny is not going to get changed...
but i have no cel.. and everything is running fine.. power is down a bit, but that is a motor / compression issue. am working on it.
i would say if you have a midpipe. well stick it in..
