C'mon you know I used those as basic price comparisons. I don't know the dimensions of the cat you chose nor does anyone else.

I either missed your post about future SC testing or it wasn't posted. It sounds like I will be holding off for that testing, as there is no point in this header if there isn't FI compatibility.

Also, ceramic cats are not as reliable/durable (vibration) as metallic cats nor do they flow as well per given size. You would be better off using the metallic cat just for peace of mind. Honestly, if you've never designed such an exhaust piece before you should talk to some folks that have. No one uses ceramic cats and there is a reason for it.
