ordered the ct headers and rt cat from excelerate. i got the ct headers in the garage waiting for the rt cat that is coming in tomorrow. gonna do the install this weekend. i can't wait i have the xs power on now and am anxious to see how much better the ct's are, if any at all. anyone else madke the xs power to ct header jump? your thoughts? and thoughts from people with ct headers and rt hi flow cat combo please.

 

The RT cat is a really nice upgrade. Lets the exhaust flow much better than OEM. As for headers I couldn't say. I like my Megans just fine.

 

You should probably know that you have to mod the RT cat to make it fit the Type-S.

 

Is there really much of a gain with just the RT cat w/o upgrading everything else?

 

what the heck is RT?

 

yea. from what i understand i need to drill the holes a little and extend the wires. i got the extended wires from excelerate so i don't need to cut and use butt connectors to extend and the drilling should be pretty straight forward.

rt=random technology (the brand)

 

Honestly, you will get more out of the RT cat if you put headers on.

Since you Type-S guys already have a high flow cat back I really wouldn't worry about changing anything after the cat.

 

RT=Random Technology

Right?

 

 

so a cl-s6 with xs headers will benefit with rt?

 

you dont have to drill anything. buy a new rear o2 sensor. remove the old one. just extend the wires w/ the old wires on the new sensor. thats it. ive done it multiple times, just use heatshrink or you will have to redo your splices due to corrosive conditions.

 

I got the XS headers and the rt cat, I love the combo! Its got a real nice sound to it, I didn't lose any torque.

 

Yes a lot of you guys would benefit from a high flow cat. The stock cat is pretty restrictive. The stock exhaust on the Type S though flows pretty well.

after hours of grinding and drilling to get the POS nuts and bolts off the xs headers, i finally finished the install. the ct headers are noticeably better in quality and i don't get the hollow "whooshing" sound from the ct's like i did from the xs. The ct's are in a league of thier own. as far as performance i do notice i slightly quicker and harder pull, however i did do the rt cat install as well. so i'm sure the cat free up alot of restriction. the combo of ct headers and rt cat is a winner. my car sounds stock at idle and not so stock at wot i did have to drill the stock piping to a larger diameter in order to get the rt cat to line up. even with the larger hole it still did not line up perfectly, but i did not want to drill too much more. overall the car is just more aggressive in sound and perfomance. thanks excelerate. i'm loving it.

future upgrades: pulley set, cams(when they are available), sway bars, rear BBKs, and way down the line a turbo setup(since comptech sc is out of the question)
