Failed smog. Details here:

http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=86880&mesg_id=86880&page=

Looks like I need a new cat. Suggestions? OEM Cat? High flow one? Where to get it? How much? I've searched the forums, most I see people getting are the catco ones.

And will the High flow Cat from RRE work with my Greddy Evo 2.5 exhaust?

They have one for $150. It says 2G FWD. Not sure if they meant all 2G FWDs or just GSTs. If this would work, I'd prefer this setup, as they're pretty close by and I can pick it up.

Would really appreciate any information. Thanks.

a dont think a hi flow cat will pass smog but im not positive .

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought you were turbo till I looked at your first post. I'd just get the cheapest thing that will fit and swap back afterwards, a hi-flow won't pass visual on our cars anyways, and probably won't do a lot more than your current old cat.

his is the black car we saw at MOD.

just go for a basic one man. I know a shop that charged 35 for my bros 97 fire bird.

I see. I guess its time to go look around for a generic one in the area then. OEM Mitsu one is too much, $300+ from Norco Mitsu...

Autozone sells a universal one for the eclipse for $50 but it doesn't have the flanges to bolt it right up. You could always have a shop weld on some flanges that way you could remove the cat whenever you want.

I have a stock replacement one that has about 1,000 miles on it. Since my car is totalled, I dont need it. It is already off the car.

PM me if you are interested.

CHeck out magnaflow .. they have a direct fit

import tuner just did a test on it too for this months issue.

Oh no...not another one. Mikey, Juan is still using mine, otherwise you know I got you.

For the guys who said the high-flow cat won't pass smog, that is simply incorrect.

The cat you buy should have a CARB number on it, but it isn't required. I have passed CA test-only smog 5 times with 2 different high-flow 2.5" cats, without any issues functional, visual, or otherwise.

Yes, a 2.5" RRE cat would be a perfect fit for your Greddy catback, but you have to weld the flanges on. There is no such thing as a GS-T compatible drop-in cat that fits a RS/GS.

I second about Magnaflow cat's, I cough,cough have that issue also.

I'm putting one on mine when it comes to doing from headers to back whole system. I'm planning everything out first, for my Dsm. :thumbsup

I just bought a universal, 3" Magnaflow from Jeg's and it's carb legal. :)

Ah, thanks for the info Dan. Hehe, I read my post just now after I didn't see any replies for a few days. I emailed Mike W as well, pretty much said the same thing you said, get a raw 2.5 cat for $99.
