Enough said.

Japanese knows how to sell stuff - they said if you tune it with F-Con V Pro and Twin Power and Legamax - you have tune it to the max.

I'm not smart enough to translate this. Whats the skinny on it?
Well I'm smart enought to figure it out it is a metal cat that has a resonator in line.

It is a metal cat made in SUS304 metal.

65 mm diameter? and a lot of ads for their "other" HKS products that DEEDUB can talk you through

There is no power figure. And it is 115000 Yen, or about USD$900

It is in my shopping list... but I finish doing my wheel and brake first. Since I don't expect to drop my track lap time that much with the whole engine tune thing ...

Typical American...

So does your car comes from Japan

I agree though this is nothing special... custom made cat will work the same.

The HKS Metal Catalyzer comes with a resonator, so it won't be nearly as loud as the RP Supercat. Trust me, I should know! hahaha

it's a 200 cell metalyzer cat with a resonator, BFD

certainly NOT worth $900 + import/shipping fees

You know you want it "Mr HKS JunKie"

Team ... do not persade him to get something else I am sure he will regret without all the HKS parts in his car ...

I think an HKS 8 is very cool though...

And now, in Engrish!

The metal catalyser which is compatible the relationship which you call Takaide power and high purification efficiency and is contrary in the higher-order origin -. One for RX-8/LA-SE3P appears.


Merit


- Unifying 150 cell catalysts and the SUS304 stainless steel make Φ 60 pipes in one for RX-8 of pipe section one body.

- You exchange the genuine ceramic catalyst which is easy to be broken to the metal make, also mechanical strength improves.

- It can taste the rotary feeling only of NA rotary.

- In the especially 6MT car, with ignition type strengthening by the HKS racing suction kit and the inhalation and exhalation of air チƒ…ーン + twin power by Rihga MAX, actualizing the extension from 7000rpm. (When jointly using with the HKS racing suction kit the fuel control with F-CON and the like is recommended. )
- Of course 10-15 by the public system mode waste gas test record certificate attachment.

Oldie thread,
Was looking around wondering if any american company made high flow cat with a metal honycomb ( not ceramic ).

Looked at srmotor hi flow and rp hi flow but didn't like how the inside looked.(kinda cheap)
or I may just forget about the environment and go with a straight pipe.

btw heres what it says on that hks page

and NOW in english...

- 150cell catalyst to a 60mm diameter sus304 stainless steel pipe, one piece.
- Replaces ceramic catalyst that is prone to fail, with a metalic catalyst.
- Ideal for the high reveing NA tuned rotary engine.
- Especailly for the 6 speed version, by adding power suction kit, legmax exhaust, and the twin power ignition, you can gain noticable power from 7k rpm.(we suggest you use the f-con with the power suction kit to change ari/fuel ratio)
- Also comes with a certificate for emission inspection.

which is way to expensive for me.
