If you buy or have bought SLP LTs with high flow cats and you need a replacement cat, like I did cause mine went bad after a year and for some reason is not covered under the lifetime warranty... its 180.00 USC to buy a new one on top of 10 bucks for shipping....

just something to think about when randomtech cats are like 90 bucks a peice...

The only one's I could find the day I NEEDED to order them were used. on top of I've never had a good Ebay experience.

It sux, but I figure I'd let other know what the retail is on them.

You should be able to put any cat on it as long as it's the right diameter for the pipes. Just don't buy it from SLP.

I realize this is after the fact, but performance curve (an ebay company; and I'm not sure if they are still around or not...) but I got 2- 3 inch in and out- cats from them for 40 bucks each, and they worked great on my 97 Z28 Their number is (or was, only called once, and that was like 3 years ago) 540 343 1593

How do you know if you've got a bad cat?? I've got the SLP's also, and wouldn't know the difference...

I heard it, there was something rattling in the cat, it would stop when I'd give it gas, but once I let off the gas it would rattle like if you dropped a marble on the ground.

Did they not give you a reason that they would not send another one to you under warranty? I'm the type of person that requires a "why" when someone tells me they can't do something, thats complete bs!

I had to replace 2 SLP cats after 10k miles on my TA.

becasue i've heard this on other SLP 04 and it turns out to be a heat shield that came free

The cats would ony go bad if they were overheated - a lot! Since they are much further back then the stock ones, I would be worried about your tune (running too lean??)

 

[bigmike06]

One of my cats had a rattle, ended up being the heat sheild. 3 out of the 4 spot welds holding it on broke, so I just snatched it off.

or it could have just been a bad cat.

its not the tune!!!! it was a tack weld inside the cat that kept a metal ring in place to keep the cat material in place that broke!!!!!!! the cat material its self looked brand new!
