Hey all,
After reading an endless amount of posts of people complaining about the sapiness of their RT cats there is NO chance i would get the RT's. Just wondering if anyone has had any raspy and buzzing problems with the crawford cats?
Thanks
Matt

 

Have had the Crawford headers & cats for a few months now & no buzz/rasp here. After install had a little vibration noise once in a while, but it was due to the Nismo exhaust connection angle at the cat connection pushing the cats up higher & they were vibrating on the heat shield once in a while. Simply pulled the cats down tighter with the cross support & it ended.

The cats add a nice "noise" to both stock & aftermarket exhausts... add headers and you hear a beast roaring - ha!

 

I have crawford cats no raspiness at all.

 

No rasp here either. Good cats, good price, great vendor. I wish Doug sold everything I wanted for my car because he is hands down the best person I have had the pleasure of doing business with. I even drove 11 hours to TN just to visit during a Middle East TN Z-Car club event. Had a blast and got to meet some great people including Z CRUZN.

 

How ya doin' my friend? We need another get-together...maybe closer to your neck of the woods this time - ha! Yes, I agree with you - I wish Doug could supply ALL my Z stuff - a great guy for sure! I'll be going down in July or Aug for him to do my JWT flywheel & clutch - yippee!! Doing the S-tune suspension in a couple weeks as well. Man, I still can't stop thinkin' 'bout those superchargers we saw at ZAttack - Hmmmmm......... Maybe next year. Drop me a line sometime - Hope all is well with your sweet-lookin' LS Z.

Sorry for the thread hijack.............

 

I have the Crawford CATS. They do have a raspy sound between 2-3K when cold. Once warmed up, the raspiness disappears, to be replaced by a deeper, louder, and melodious sound. This occurs as you progressively accelerate through the RPM range.

At WOT, there's a slight hint of raspiness from 2-3k.

 

fdao I am with you... I love the cats, but when they are cold they are a bit raspy.

 

Thanks man. For a moment there, I thought I was the only one with the raspiness . Great product, still.

 

If Crawford's cats were available when I bought my RT cats, I would have chosen Crawford's instead. Especially since I have heard of 6 RT failures in recent weeks. IMO Crawford's products and service are second to none.
