Random Tech cats?
I was looking into getting these down the road. Anyone have them?
This place seems to be the cheapest I have seen online

Stay as far away from these as possible. Just do a search and you will come up with numerous threads stating serious problems with them. There are countless cases of the material inside them imploding and causing exhaust blockages. Performance Nissan even stopped selling them due to their inferior quality and numerous customer complaints.Go with either Crawford and Kinetix. They are each less expensive and better quality.

I had an RT cat on my Maxima... it lasted about 1 month/2k miles before the inside honeycomb section fell apart and clogged my b-pipe and muffler. I am one of many, many people who experienced the same problem. Don't waste your money on RT cats.
THEY SUCK!!!!! Mine did not last a year then I felt 3rd and 4th gear felt like sh*t NO power.....Took them off and sure enough they imploded.....So I gutted mine and turned them into $600 test pipes......Don't waste your money

Plan and simple. Dont do it. Go Crawford or Kinetix. If anybody wants to see pics of my bad cats do a search. I pissed away 600 bucks on those things and now those 600 dollar gutted RT's are sitting in my garage.

from all that I have heard run from them for a 350Z...
I used to have an R/T HFC on my honduh prelude and never had any issues after running with it for lik 5-6 yrs... just depends on the application... for Z's they suck...
albeit they do flow well untill they implode...

I have been running them for a year and NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. They are as high flowing as you can get without going straight pipe. Great fittment and a good gain in power. I always let mine warm up a couple of minutes before any aggressive driving and they are still working fine.

All these people are stating that they sucked and what not.............I spoke to Clay at Random Tech & Paul Dezid Motorpsorts and they both said it is an issue with the ECU running too rich and RT corrected this problem by making these cats available in 2 substrates based upon mods done. So I think I may give them a shot. I had their products on 2 of my previous cars and no problems what so ever. Clay @ RT also said they have a warranty and will fix the cat for free if it fails and/or give a new one. What is there to lose?
