you were probably ignored because the question has been asked and answered at least 5 different ways in countless threads. Do a search and you'll see all the reviews you could imagine, from "they suck" to "they cure cancer"

I have the Kinetix cats...great sound w/Nismo exhaust. Really will add an extra oomph to your tone.
One cautionary note: After installation, they were making contact with the factory heat shields. This resulted in an (extremely) annoying rattle when coming off throttle at high RPMs. The fix is simple...the heat shield needs a little "persuasion" to clear the cats 100%. This is easily achieved with a pry bar/mallet. They may have fixed this is issue with a redesign, but I am not sure.
Also, the kinetix cats do not utilize the factory cat support bracket.

I mean personally I love everything that comes out of AAM and I have no doubt in my mind that they make great products, but cost is becoming more of a deciding factor in this case. Everyone has their own reason for wanting to stay away from test pipes which I'm sure no one will disagree has the most HP potential over Cats. I personally don't wanna pay more than I need to on parts where I'm going to see less gain for my money. If Kinetix cats cost less than everyone else in the market while giving about the same gains as everyone else in the market. The choice becomes clear.
However.... If AAM wants to give me a call and offer me a huge discount on their Cats at the same price as the Kinetix cats, you best beleive I'd be at their shop an hour later.

High flow, non resonated test pipes, and resonated test pipes. You could have just gone to the site and looked it up:

We ran the Kinetix for about 1 year and were very happy with them. We have some pics of them at our website:

+1 on the heat shield noise which guitman32 mentioned, very easy fix though, especially if you are aware of it and make the adjustment during the install.
We sell them for about the same price as Kinetix but we include free shipping, they are in our onlinestore:

I was asking for info on the different versions of their high flow cats, not test pipes.there's a new and old version - the old version is ~8-10months old and incorporate a bracket to use stock support - they had lots of problems cracking (because of the brace)......newer version doesn't have a brace and doesn't have any notorious cracking problems.........don't buy used kinetix unless you're certain whether it's the older or newer model.

William@Altered, have you heard your cats paired together with a Nismo exhaust? I'm curious as to how that sounds.
Has anyone looked into Ichiba high-flow cats?
