We made some updates over the weekend to the website and it included a high flow cat for the 2nd gen CL/TL. We have these in stock and ready to ship.

The XLR8 high flow catalytic converter is a bolt on unit that replaces your restrictive OE unit with a high flow unit made for Excelerate by Random Technology, well know for their high flow and quality cats. It consists of a stainless steel body with 2.5" inlet/outlet, 300 cell metallic substrate, and floating flanges for ease of installation.

XLR8 Performance Exhaust products are designed for function, form and style. Each exhaust part starts with high grade stainless steel. All exhaust tubing is mandrel bent on sophisticated CNC machinery for a precise fit and uninterrupted exhaust flow. Each XLR8 high flow cat consists of a stainless steel body, 300 cell metallic substrate, and floating flanges for ease of installation.

Over the years, improvements in chemistry and metallurgy have enabled Random Tech to continually upgrade catalytic converter performance and durability.

just pwned my feeler thread.

pretty good price

also has bung for o2?

 

Yes it has the bung for the O2. It's a bolt on unit and is essentially just a larger version of the RT cat. The RT cat is a great cat with a great quality substrate but the inlet/outlet is too small so we had RT make us a 2.5"IN/OUT cat to increase the flow and take advantage of the larger motor.

 

sooo this will fit tlp?

i was under the impression only the S had the 2.5 piping.. and us TLP guys had 2.25??

 

lol wow... 2 threads on 2g high flow cats in a day

 

any numbers even though it would be YMMV

 

TLp had 2 type s had 2.25

 

serious question! has or had ???

 

my tlp was 1.78

 

ok, so how does the 2.5" inlet and outlet fit to either? or help air flow for that matter?

 

if you whole exhaust system is 2.5" but in the middle the cat is 2.25" what do u think happens? bottle-neck; thus you have "untapped" power.

 

i have 2 inch piping... question is this cat is pointless unless you have 2.5 piping right?

 

Has.

 

Yes. This is designed for those that have headers and cat back exhaust.

 

damn I wish I didn't buy a RT Cat and waited for this. Anyone want to buy a RT CAT 2.25" in/out so I can buy one of these?

 

wow jjasha yea this pretty much shot your other feeler thread down... been waiting for one of these forever then two threads in one day...so weird.... anyway we could get a discount if we get a group buy of like 5 or 10 people to buy at once??

 

Will this one make it raspy like the R/T cat does?

 

audio/video clips please?

 

I haven't installed on yet on a car so there's no audio or video clips. We do have them available to ship though today.

In terms of a Groupbuy if we get 5 ppl I will do $305 shipped to the cont US and if we get 10 ppl I will do $295 shipped to the cont US

chyeahhh... 6 more letsss go! plenty of people on here have aftermarket headers and exhaust with that bottleneck cat in the middle... perfect mod to free up some trapped power peopleee...

 

I'm assuming the gains w/o headers won't be a whole lot, but with headers how much extra HP could be had with this?

 

would also like to know if it will make it raspy, and also what are the gains expected??

 

How many miles and how much?

 

There are gains to be had but this cat is really designed for those with aftermarket headers; if you have factory headers get the regular RT cat.

Generally no but I haven't installed one yet. Gains should be in the 7-10 hp range.

 

I need more moniessssss

 

Quick question. replacement cat + california = carb legal?

 

No it is not CARB legal.

 

bumpp need 6 more

 

will this work and get the same gains with stock exhaust but aftermarket headers? I have the xs headers but stock type-s exhaust.

 

You will still see gains; it's just better to have larger piping on the exhaust since that will be your bottle neck.

 

CMON PEOPLE!! LETS GET 10!!

Im willing to pay the $305 shipped for it with the people we've got now, even though Id prefer $295. Should we put a deadline on the groupbuy?

 

Yes let's put a deadline. Payments must be received by Wednesday at midnight. Specify what you're ordering and for what car. Send the $295 payment; if we get 8 people to pay I'll do that price. Just make sure all 6 on the list pay and then find 2 more!!! Payment must be made via Paypal to excelerate@sbcglobal.net ; pricing is for shipping to the cont US

 

come on lets get this done!!! 2 more people!!

 

Excelerate - I posted over on the CL side, but I was wondering if the length of the cat is exactly the same length as the stock cat.
