RP supercat
Just a few questions before I decide to spend my money on it. I tried searching and probably searched for the wrong thing cause these are simple questions I'm sure have been asked but I didnt find the answer, so: on the RP site it says the supercat is for off-road use only which I assume to be becaue of noise? is there any other problems or reasons it should only be off-road? not too concerned because it says it is street legal though. My other question is: I saw in a thread about the supercat someone asking if there were fitting issues with the RB exhaust and never saw an answer to the question. is there anything to it? or should it fit fine? any responces are appreciated, Thanks

Same with me, no issues.

9,000 + miles without a hangar and no problems here. RP supercat is an outstanding product. If you have any questions, call them and speak to Chris. He's very knowledgeable and responsive to all questions.

Go Texas Longhorns!
I have that cat with the stock exahust, and I got that weird vibrating as I didn't have the extra hanger. You have to solutions, one, get a hanger installed in the factory location, or two, what I did, remove the two chasis braces along the exahust tunnel, which really don't do anything.
I'm waiting for the standalone hanger to come out from RP, and then I'll install it. If you want to check to see if this is your issue, remove the two braces from under the car and see if you still hear the noise.

do you guys really feel any difference in having a "super-cat"
I'm sure that questions been asked before, but to me it would make more sense just to remove the cat and have pipe only. I know it's illegal, but lots of people do illegal things...

I have no hanger installed and no rattle. It is not much louder than it was before, just a bit angrier. I have had a racing beat exhaust installed since it came out. All and all I am happy with the purchase.

Those braces are important for preventing chassis twist & flex, highly recommend that you reinstall them.

It is Illegal to remove a perfectly good operating cat in CA. A lot of Muffler shops will tell you this when you ask them to put on a high flow cat or do anything with the cat for that matter.. But they would still do the work for you maybe on a "side job" basis. When you get a smog test as long as it passes the snuffer you would be ok.. The normally do not look at the cat unless your car is all modified and it does not past the snuffer for other reasons.
