What engine are you running?? We are expiriencing problems in RGB at the moment. We are finding that the Cats are melting and blocking up the
exhaust. This has been raised with the 750MC, but as yet we are still having to run them. It is the general concencus (in RGB) that due to use running
stock ECU or carbed engines the cats just do nothing other than cause problems and cost, so the best results so far have been achieved by inserting a
slice of zx12 cat in the end of the tail pipe. This meet the requirements and also allows quick and easy inspection, plus they do not seem to melt as
quickly in this position, although we have seen the wadding from the exhaust melt, and turn into glass on the front edge of the cat.
Performance wise, as long as its not melted, we haven't seen any reduction in performance.
