there are plenty of metal cats, haven't seen any yet that will survive 2200 degF continuous, not even $1000 max racing cats, MetalCat is an OK brand though

you didn't try very hard, last I heard they were not being marketed in the US:

http://www.metalcat.com.au/

a low cost hi-flo metallic sold here in the US is PowerCat by Dynatech, most of the discount auto aftermarket places sell the (Jegs, Summit, etc.) they go for $150 - $180 each in 2.25", 2.5", and 3" in/out sizes, the cat size is the same for all three, I don't know the temp limitation specs on them though

 

I got those links too, still not much to go by...

 

Did you try contacting Supreme for a release update? It's shown on their website, but they are a large scale supplier, not retail sales. They distribute through AutoZone, so once it's out it should be easy to get.

 

I called them last Friday, but the techs have already left for the day. I'll call again Monday to ask questions. I just want to check if the 2200 F claim is baseless or true.

 

peak maybe, but I have a hard time believing continuous

fwiw there's no advantage for them to use type 316L stainless for the case rather than the usual type 304 on an automotive exhaust application, it just costs more. Typical marketing BS.

 

I burned out my random tech high flow cat, but got a new one from warrantee. The ceramic substrate started to deform from the heat and was loose. Just curious to see if the metal substrate should be able to handle more heat without deforming.

 

random tech now sells metallic cats too

do you have the SR Motorsport cat pipe? They appear to use a ceramic Random Tech cat.

 

that's some high temps .. is that really necessary

 

I wouldn't bet on a stainless steel substrate Random unit, in his early testing, Canzoomer blew the guts out of one in about three days.

In doubt about exhaust temps? Ever see a rotary engine with a single wall exhaust header? Find one then you will have some idea how hot it gets!

Check this out:Metal Cat
It retails for $180.
The part# listed matches the Supreme Metal Cat one.
I'm asking the seller is it real thing?

 

There are a couple of guys here in OZ running with metal cat and so far no problems with them

The one on ebay seem to look like the real deal they do come with a 5 year warranty .
