Random Technologies High Flow Cat
There are high flow catalytic converters and then there is RANDOMTECH!!!
I got my unit on friday and i have to say that i am VERY impressed. It looks like a resonated testpipe, quite light and you can literally see through it!
It will replace my UR high flow cat...
I will install it next saturday along with my Nisei piping kit and then retune with Dynoflash. After this i will have almost every bolt-on on the car except exhaust manifold...
Here are some pictures...
It is a true 3 inch...
Enjoy...

I don't want the testpipe because i drive the car every day, so i wanted to get what is supposed to be one of the highest flow catalytic converters in the market...
I paid 300 something. Sometimes I prefer to get my stuff at a higher price, but i least i know i will get them when i am supposed to...
I will install it next saturday and i will try to take pictures of the two cats side by side...
The o2 will be placed on the bung that my catback has, probably along with a mechanical cel fix to secure 100% a non-existing SES...
I am expecting at least 5-7whp more than my previous cat. The Randomtech unit is rated at over 500cfm, against the 300 something cfm of the ceramic units, including the stock one... With this cat and the piping kit i will retune again. I am 100% sure that i will exceed 350whp on pump at 23psi...

The UR is not a metallic substrate cat but a ceramic... The randomtech is CARB approved...

how many CFM is a 3" test pipe rated at?
I wonder if Random Tech will make me a custom 3" diameter cat with custom lengths and flanges?

maybe a cat is denser but the cells are thinner, or maybe the cat has less cells but there are thicker in order to operate, thus flowing the same...
It all depends on the name, quality, construction and type of cat...

I do not have a preference as to what exactly to buy, so I'm not bashing. I like the actual Random core for what it is, but do not like the flanges. I've had issues with the Random's flanges sealing, and the fact that they are perpendicular to the core, unlike the OE cats flanges. This has caused off sets in the fitment in a few systems.
