Also, for those that might be wondering, this cat could be paired with a pre-built catless midpipe, such as the one with 3" tubing that rx7store.net sells for $199 on their site (has a pre-welded O2 sensor bung):

To be honest, I can't provide any more detail than what Chike has very graciously posted. Thanks a lot, dude! 
I, personally, will not be collecting any money. I just want a list of interested parties as a first step. I have no idea how long it will take Dave to place the order, receive the product and distribute it. I wouldn't assume it'll be any quicker than a few weeks.

I was the one that originally found this cat. I had sent off an email to them and this is the reply I received.
So far, Swoope is the only one that I know of that has tried this cat and he has had no problems so far. I found one of another brand real cheap, so I'm not using this one yet.
Hello Allen,
I've actually sold several to rotary guys. I unfortunately have no additional facts on the cats. The manufacturer doesn't provide them. I can tell you anecdotally that my rally customers are getting several seasons on them using full anti-lag, which also raises exhaust temperatures to ridiculous levels. The farther back you can place the cat the better though - both for flow and for longevity.
Best regards,

On the nets, I found a lot of references to 100 cpi cats, but I couldn't put a name to them (in North America). Davesport is the only company I found that was actually selling them. Even finding the 200 cpi cats wasn't easy.
yep,
i saw some sites with silly stuff on them. issue is you dont know if that is the one, or is it going to last..
beers

I did a lot of searching on the nets last night and came up with nothing. I think to find these, you would need to go SEMA or the other performance show in Indianapolis (I don't remember the name of). There is probably a small booth manned by one guy thats pushing these no-name cats.

I have found plenty.
On my assumptions, if these were made in the USA there would be no hesitation to get these made becasue they could be quickly made and shipped.
They could be imported from either Europe/China/Japan and so forth.
This is from 20+ hours of searching and researching.
