Today I recieved the Random Technology Cat. Converter from Excelerate, great guy to deal with and best of all, no customs nor duty fees!




I also bought the O2 extension and the hardware kit.

Im just wondering how my exhaust will sound like when I get this thing installed. I removed my only mid muffler.

Im gonna get this installed when I go to my mechanic to get my winter tires swapped in.

I'll post back with a sound clip when that happens.

 

I hope yours doesn't get raspy, I heard a clip on a CL and.........well, I hope yours sounds better.

 

oh, do you have that link handy?

 

Best of luck Volly, you car is awesome.

 

any update on this?

 

sorry im a noob.. what does this do for you? i'm from the gta too so maybe one day i could check out your ride..
lucky u didnt have to pay any fees.. i dont think there was one thing that i didnt get charged duties/import fees for.. oh well

 

im not expecting any gains from this, I bought this because my cat is rattling, sounding like a tank whenever i accelerate. Between the RT cat and OEM cat, the RT cat is a more economical choice whereas the OEM cat can cost an arm and a leg.

Im gonna get it installed sometime this week. I will keep this thread updated.

 

does it make a difference in sound at all?

 

im excited to find out as well! I post clips when I do get it installed!

 

yo where are you from exactly? i never see any modded 2nd gens around toronto.. i only seen 1 ssm 99-01 with a ww kit in the last 2 years?!

 

in the west end; brampton.

you?

 

west end of toronto, 401 and weston

 

The difference in sound on a S is minimal, though on a P there is much less catalyst, so maybe a bit more of a differnce. Unfortunately, mine got raspy after I removed the mid muffler.

 

You have a TL-P or TL-S?

 

Mine is a TL-S, Comptech headers, RT Cat, then subsequent midmuffler removal (not to include the ever famous "juice can" resonator which is still there) which unfortunately created a noticeable rasp between 2300-2900 rpm under any load and more if at good load/throttle during higher rpms (but less noticeable to me due to growling intake).

 

Correction in red - sorry

 

To whomever posted they don't see modified 2nd gen TL's in the GTA ... I don't know where you drive / live. I see quite a few of them (not every day, but often) on my commutes from North York <-> 'ssauga. And if I go to Pacific Mall or any area with a high density of Asians (Indian, Oriental, etc) ... it's almost a certainty.

 

i live in north york and i'm always driving to sauga cuz my family lives there.. i'm around pacific mall alot too cuz my older sister lives in richmond hill.. still nothing lol.
i saw exactly 2 2nd gens that you can consider modded and a bunch of a-specs though.
oh yeah, i've seen OntarioTL's also but thats because i drove all the way to london to get my guages done

 

realllly!?!

got pics?

 

haha soon really soon.. i'm gonna get my alarm, window visors and aem v2 installed tmrw and i'll snap some pics before i go into winter mode
who else in the gta has it done by OntarioTL? he said i'm the third member from azine..

 

I know there this guy from OntarioTLs thread with a blue Aspec and quite possibly the guy i sold my quad retros to.

 

is that quad retro guy on azine? i wanna see some pics of his car..sorry for making this thread off topic VoLLy haha

 

np, he was on azine, but he doesnt come on any more. i forgot his name.

 

Hey thanks for the compliments. Enjoy your new mod. Heard the sound clip; sounds great.
