Looking for Catted downpipes.

WoodE30 · 02-24-2020, 08:32 PM

Yes I know it's probably an oxymoron, but I'm in the market for a catted downpipe.

A few reasons why is I don't like the smell, being I don't have post cats either. Also I don't want to get caught up in a smog check checkpoint, thanks to the great state of California.

What brand would you guys recommend? Looking for ones that would possibly pass tail pipe emission test and not cause a check engine light.

My mods, FBO, upgrade twins.

What's your current exhaust setup like in? secondaries in place?

Do you have an ecu tune?

I have vrsf 3.5 inch cat back. I'm running jb4 w/mhd BEF.

Cobb & Turner Motorsports make catted downpipes. Expect to pay $750-800.00

VRSF is set to drop a set of hi flow catted pipes soon for like half the price of others.

Yeah, i just came across these. I see them going for $389. I'm curious the cell count of the catalyst. I'm crossing my fingers they will not cause CEL.

VRSF, Turner, CP-E, and AR Design are our offerings for catted (listed in lowest to highest retail just for fun). Personally I love the Turner ones, but if the VRSF ones keep the check light off they are going to be hard to beat, currently I don't have hard data on that from them.

Thanks James, yeah I read mixed reviews on the CEL issue.

Why Turner for your preference over the others?
