I sell these racecats.

Most of the STU cars at nats bought their cats from me. My customers won 8 trophies in STU, and 2 in STX, including the STX ProSolo Champ and the #1 & 2 STU car.

Nice to see you on here Rick. If I ever need a replacement, I'll hit you up.

P.S. I can personally vouch for Rick. Great guy, who can be trusted.

That's because they're not, the BB listing was old and not valid back when I bought my first one in 2006. I've imported all mine from Germany. I probably have more $$$ in my exhaust than most people have in mods for the entire car. Me is stoooooopid ....

OK, so TeamRX8. You know I am making the dual catback. It is almost done. I want to offer these cats. But I need to make sure that the cel light will not trip and that the car will pass smog test since I'm out here in cali. Are these 100cpi cats good for that. Remember that each rotor will have it's own cat.

I was also going to place the 02 sensors in the rear rotor exhaust pipe.

P.S. The racing beat header flange is very nice to build upon.

Thanks Chiketkd,

If anyone still wants one, I now have some of the 100cpi cats in stock. SS spun housing, made in the US, exactly the same as the one in the original pic. I have both 3" and 2.5" i/o. This will be my last batch.

Yeah, I know, but since it will be true dual I will need an option for dual cats or I can run a cross pipe for one cat, but then it wont be dual anymore. As for the header it has a ss flange going into the siamese port

I thought the 100 cpi cats would work just fine, they are also affordable

Anyways, I have to do a few more vmount installs before I can finish my rx8 project stuff.

HJS cats are everything except affordable.

If you want affordable you need the thread topic product.

Will this cat pass California emissions test? Also, swoope, are you saying this cat lasts longer than the OEM cat?

They're not EPA certified, I doubt any 100cpi is. As far as smog tests, some cars pass, some don't, depends on the tune. The cats seem to last, as long as the car is not run super rich, which causes excessive heat via the catalytic reaction.

Rick,

Do you sell any 200cpi or 300cpi cats? I need to switch to something a little more restrictive this winter. My 100cpi Davesport cat keeps throwing a code for cat efficiency every 3-4 weeks.

That kind of sucks, Chike. I'm on my second season with my Davesport cat and I've had no problems with it. No codes. Honestly, even if it wore out and started giving me DTCs, I'd just buy another one. They're cheap enough to replace every couple years.

^Agreed. No big deal for me though as I'm only doing local stuff this season. I'll figure out what cat my car needs this Winter, get her tuned and step things up another notch next season!

My cat is still working just fine - I took the pipe off and inspected it to be sure. I just think the later model year RX-8's might have a more sensitive emissions monitoring system.

Hopefully a 200cpi metal core cat will be the trick. If not I'll go to a 300cpi cat like Isley used on his car.

I opted for the combo high flow cat welded to a 3" race pipe from RX7store. It just seemed easier to me since I don't weld. I plan on installing myself. Otherwisee this looks like a great deal. I wll consider this option the next time my cat ***** out on me..

Sooo, I hope I spell it right. I got to ride in a gumpart-apollo. Guess what, twin turbo audi v8. The turbos and wastegates dump straight into the cats. The car has twin HJS 200 cpi cats, one for each bank. They also said pricing is around 700 for each. I may have to rework the exhaust system design to use these because these cats should do fine with the exhaust heat from the rotary.

Mine was just installed before the summer and I just put 800 track miles on it this past weekend. With about 4000 miles on the road. No problems so far with the cat.
