We are going to offer a special price - somewhere in the $450 - $485 range - the retail of the set is going to be around $600 - $650. Offered only as stainless steel - both polished and not.
The special pricing will not expire HOWEVER it will be open to a certain number of sign-ups only - that's the deal. We haven't figured out that number yet.
If your interested - go ahead and sign-up, no obligation, but by signing-up you can reserve your right to the special pricing. If someone drops out, the space will be re-opened. We will set the limit on Monday.

To add a little more. These are 400 cell high flow cats wrapped in a stainless steel shell. Although dyno testing has not been done yet, a high flow cat with the same interior brick but a different shell was put to the test by myself three years ago on a G-35. Gains over three runs were averaged out to be 8 horsepower. Lets keep one thing in consideration, it was September, in California and it was hot. It was also one of the first G-35's with less power then the current models. I am confident this time around the numbers will match those and possibly do a little better. We will be doing dyno testing in the near future on these. They will be offered in 2.5 inch stainless steel. They WILLNOT trip CEL lights due to the amount of back pressure that they provide. One more thing to add. They have a carb. approved number stamped on them, so they are 50 state legal. Yes even in California.

Pictures will be up Monday evening at the latest. I recently wrote the specs on the cat, and no you wont need to bang your floor board in. Any technical questions just ask me directly. Thanks,
Tony

The set you see before you is the prototype. They have never been on a car. But I have used a cat with the same brick as these for the past 4 years. I have never had them throw a code. They are 400 cell so they create enough back pressure to keep to ECU happy. You shouldn't have a problem.

The core is a cermaic brick, Honeycomb style. I offer a lifetime warranty on all tubing welds and flanges. As far as the cat go's Magnaflow offers a 1 year warranty. But they can determine wheather the car was running to rich, or to lean. If they determine misuse on the costomers part they may not warranty the cat.

Please post the ARB number...
the ARB data base is down so I cant check and see if your company has any on file...
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php
the RT High Flow Cats in general are CARB approved but not on the 350Z/G35 specifically :-/

I might trade in my kinetix cats and get these instead...
can you please post a pic of the honeycomb for those of us who dont know what 400-cell looks like?
P.S. since when did the O2 sensors measure backpressure? I thought they measured the change in O2 before and after the cat.

Here is picture of a 400 cell brick, and 2 pictures of California stamp of approval.
As far as the back pressure question, your O2 sensors do not measure back pressure. It is your secondary O2 sensors that determine emission testing, and all back pressure will occur forward of the cat and your primary O2 sensors. However, on some but not all newer vehicles (post OBD2) some secondary O2 sensors measure not only exhaust content, but rate of flow or velocity as well. We have experimented with this and found it to be true that its not just emissions level, but the rate at which the O2 sensor receives the sample.

Now that the ARB site is back online...
There are NO OBDII catalytic converter's that are approved for any vehicle after 2001.
Those are still not the ARB Numbers... it will be something like D-182-34 ... Those ARB tags are for 86 and 89... Before OBDII...
These cats are NOT CARB Approved on the 350Z/G35 nore are ANY.
This applies to all new modern cars... If the Catalytic converter is still under warranty (which the 350Z is 8year / 80000 miles). Within this time if the catalytic converter fails it is to be replaced with an OE Catalytic converter which a dealer can do under warranty at no charge to the customer. After that, any aftermarket catalytic converter will still not be ARB approved...

Correct these cats are not OBDII compliant. However these cats were given a stamp of approval from the EPA, and the California air research board. Lets be realistic if these or any cats were OBDII compliant they would be no better then your factory cats, and it would all be a waste of money. The reason we use these cats is if you are going to go through the trouble of changing your cats, you might as well put one on that burns clean as well as performs. But there is always a balance between what burns clean and makes power. It is a give a take situation. If that that wasn't the case everyone would be running test pipes.
