I just ordered the Random Technology cat, part # 822008. I will be doing a dyno run before, and after this mod. Hopefully we will see a big improvement.

Does Random post approx gains for our car?



------------------
2001 Silver 3.2CLS
Muds, Spoiler, Hardwire 8500, Polarg M-6 lamps, K&N filter #33-2178,
Comptech Headers, Sways, mufflers
Planning: SSR 17X7.5 GT1 Wheels, Brembo Brakes.

 

The reason why I am doing this is because, one person I know gained 17hp on the dyno. A few people on the board did not believe those gains, so I will do my own dyno runs. The weird thing is, with the Headers, and Random Tech Cat the person gained 37 hp to the wheels total. Even if I gain 7hp to the wheels, that will make it one of the best things to do to your car for $236. Hopefully I will get my car dynoed next week.

Yes,

But the part I ordered is made for the Accord. The only modification that needs to be done is extend the o2 sensor by 6"

Please keep us updated. I would like to see the dyno as well.

Will that make the sound of the car any different (louder,deeper,ect)??

When I receive the part, I will call a local dyno shop, and get the part installed. i will do 2-3 runs before the cat, and 2-3 runs after the cat. I will also take note on any noticeable sound difference.

Spiroh, there is another problem...an Accord part has a different flange geometry and a smaller cross section on the 3.0 vs the 3.2-S so you may have to cut and splice the flanges from your OEM cat...and maybe even an extension as the Cat in your car may be longer than an Accords. Remember that the O2 (secondary) may throw Cat deterioration codes if the Random unit is too inefficient at converting HC's vs. stock.

Just a thought, but it should make a few ponies w/o a doubt.

 

syncivic,

I just talked to the shop that installed the cat on the other person's type s. They had 2 problems. 1. The o2 sensor had to be extended, and 2. They had to use different bolts for the cat, since the ones they got from random tech, stripped easily. I definately keep you all updated on my findings.
