R Magic Sports Catalyzer

Does anyone own this or hear anything good about it? I'm thinking about getting it instead of the rp supercat. I read a lot on here that the rp supercat has a some problems and fails after a while. Is worth paying the extra $$ for the the r magic one?

ya, could someone fill me in on the details of why they would pay some 3-4 times more for the same thing?

Maybe show a pic?

well -- the 3X or 4X increase in price sucks (if thats true)

I personally have an RP supercat - and I love it. EXCEPT for the fact that this is my 2nd one and I keep getting a CEL code for catalytic converter efficiency failure. Now I'm not going to bash on Rotary Performance - ive been by their shop Chris is SO awesome to deal with, really a good guy and a good company. He replaced my first one free of charge when i had a constance CEL - it fixed it for a while but after about 2K miles the CEL was back.

I love the sound (esp with my RB Catback), i love the weight savings, I love the slight bump in power, but I bought it specifically to not have a CEL. Later on I'm considering going 100% catless midpipe if there is some form of o2 fooler out there that can mask a CEL.

It looks like it is priced at 92,400 yen which converts to $779 US.

there are a lot of good matalic 600+ cfm cats out there that can stand 1800F. you just have to look

unless this thing is made some spaceage catalysing material, your paying $$$ out the wazoo for the same thing + name.

J-On-Demand is now the official US distributor for R-Magic, you'll probably get the best price from them

it is probably a better piece and quieter too with the nice resonator, but I'm not sure it's worth all that, the JPN stuff in general is over-priced IMO

thanks teamrx8. yeah in GENERAL japanese products are expensive, but Rmagic is a very known company in japan for rotarys, who make "quality" products, thats what there known for, so to me, its worth getting it, and noone else is suppose to bring it down but through me alone, we are the ONLY US distributor for R-magic, everyone else goes through a middle man
