Same here...it has been 12 days since the date was set and I don't think it will happen now. Not to mention $300 have been tied up waiting for others.

yeh I think I am in the same boat as well, I was going to do my brakes next month but if this GB doesn't work out by the end of the week I am going to pull out and do my brakes. Too bad this was a great deal!

^^^that's cool and totally understandable, now we need three and I don't see that happening any time soon. I'm out as well.

I will say though that if another GB comes up and we have at least 12-15 people that are interested I will jump back in, but I have other things I need to do other than have $300 tied up in something that may not happen for quite a while.

Despite the fact that we didn't reach the amount desired I will proceed with the GB according to plan. I have some units here; those who paid first will get theirs shipped out. Those who paid later I will have their cats built. It should take 7-10 bus days. Thanks.

I'm planning on doing my complete exhaust, including this high flow cat. What is the best headers (thinking DC ceramic) and cat-back exhaust (thinking APEXi) to complete my set-up? Also, is there anything else i will need to consider or get to do the whole thing front to back?

The best is more of a personal decision. CT Engineering/Comptech headers are the best but yes DC's are very good as well. I have coated XS Power headers that have been awesome for me but I am not sure if you can find those anymore. Search for exhaust....its all about the sound you are looking for. I have APEXi and love it, but I do wish it was a complete stainles kit not just the mufflers. If stainless is what you are looking for then it would be CT Engineering/Comptech or ATLP which is a great sounding exhaust.

OK back on the hi flow cat topic........................

You would see a minimal gain since the flow increase would be happening after the headers.

Replacing the headers would get rid of that "bottle neck" and let you get it's full potential!

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. The XLR8 high flow cats are manufactured for us to our specifications by Random Technology.

Since 1993, SuperStainless catalytic converters from Random Technology have been setting the standard for high flow, high efficiency catalytic converters. Over the years, improvements in chemistry and metallurgy have enabled Random Tech to continually upgrade catalytic converter performance and durability. As a result, SuperStainess converters with either metal matrix or ceramic cores continue to be the best catalytic converters available.
Won't this CAT cause the MIL to come on?
P0420 CAT below efficiency error.

It appears this converter is no longer available & would not fit your 2.4 TSX anyway.
