    You can buy a Carsound from Jeg's for around $100-120 if I remember correctly.

    I believe the cat from Jeg's is a bare cat. Ie, there are no flanges on it and no O2 sensor bung.

    Dave at SMS Products can sell you a perfect "drop-in" replacement Carsound cat. He basically takes the Carsound cat and makes it the right length, welds on the flanges, etc.

    I got a 2.5" Carsound cat from him awhile back and the fit was perfect.

    RT cats are known to have durability problems...Ive seen many fall apart after a couple of years.

    Dave at SMS can install an extra bung for use with a wideband O2 sensor during tuning.
