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?

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.

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.

??? sorry, my post wasnt refering to you. it was in reference to the people that are ready to shell out $779 and international shipping for something that they can get here.

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
