That comes from parking in the sun - not good on the dash either. Put up one of those reflective sun shades in the window and it will help (better yet park in the garage ).

I haven't had a problem since I replaced it.

But mine didn't melt the drivers side just broke off and was hanging by the wire and shorted the inside electrical fuse.

The super cat is replacement for the cat converter that is stock and restrictive. It should: 1) be louder than stock 2) allow your car to process exhaust a little more quickly 3) increase your stock HP by about 5hp.

Mazsport cooling mod makes your fans come on earlier and stay on a little longer to keep you car cooler in the summer.

So you know, I am now using a resonated mid pipe and will not be going back to the super cat and my Cob AP is controlling the fans so I just removed a redundant control.

I even did my own paintless dent remove yesterday on my left fender, and I did a heck of a job for an amateur! Also, I just recently was looking at some other body kits in the meanwhile, and I was looking at ebay & saw that ShineAutoProject makes a good replica of the AutoExe kit. I mentioned a while back that I was thinking about getting an AutoExe replacement. What do you guys think of that?

Never had a problem Travis! I can't believe you already broke 4 of them, I hope they covered it with warranty (if you still have it).

This one is used as I said and came off my car. It has the bungs for your secondary O2 sensor and an extra one for a wide band AFR gauge. It obviously looks used but it is located under the car that no one will ever see. Make you a deal - if you don't like the sound then I'll take it back.

We're going to the car wash at around 12, and going to Phil's later on to get the part. Phil, do you still have the RP super cat on your car or is it already off? Also, since we're down there we might as well install it on Anthony's car, if it's alright with you..

Your welcome to install it while you are at my home - should not take longer than 1 hour. Be careful when you remove yours to not mess up the gaskets. Obviously it's off.

Mazsport cooling mod is $20.00 and is off the car. You need to give me a couple of days with it to straighen it up as I still have the old hoses on it but it comes with installation instructions (should take 30 minutes to hook up) but then you will need to hid the wire and that could take a little time depending on were you decide to put the wire. If you want it, AJ then you can pick it up or I'll bring it to a meet. If you were real smart (and I know you are) you would stop by here after I return from Cali and pick it up - you may even get help installing it .
