Carsound Cat melt with FI or muffler shop blowing smoke up my ass?
 
Not that it matters anymore since the thieves took my whole exhaust, but for future reference:

I had a 2.5" carsound cat (bought from our sponser racing-solutions) and my muffler shop was telling me that it would eventually melt with the turbo... is that true? They were trying to sell me some $300 "racing" cat... I thought it was bullshit so I declined. Even if it was true, I wouldn't want to pay ------- $300.

Mine didn't melt, but I was running rich and I couldn't tune due to a bad Willems Burner and it burnt all of the catalyst out of it.

Totaly BS. As long as the cat isn't too small for the application then you're fine, or unless you're running some ungodly egt's in which case your motor would probably melt first.

Because I love the environment and I have sex with trees.

That and emissions testing is required in WA (most counties).

IF your EGT's are so hot your melting your cat, you've got more to worry about than a new one.

Yeah, I was pretty sure they were just trying to make me buy their ---- (I'm sure some people fall for it).


But when I was like, well... how much do you sell it for? The guy went and had some sales lady come talk to me. She starts blabbing about how great theirs is and how I'm going to have to replace my cat soon if I don't... I was just like, TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU SELL IT FOR. $325.00. I almost punched her in the face.

Thanks, but no thanks.
