Ultimate Racing. They have a 5 year warranty, but I'm not sure how long they've been on the car. I've owned it 4-1/2 years and I'm not sure when the previous owner put them on. I tried calling UR earlier, but didn't get through. Gonna try again. I have a stock cat on right now so I can drive the car if I had to.
Edit: Just got off the phone with UR. The guy was extremely helpful and it might get warrantied out. The only issue is they don't make the cat in-house. They use a Magnaflow cat and then weld their piping on to make it fit the Z. He said it's possible that they only warranty up to 1 year, but he's going to check on it for me and see what he can do. Point being... first contact with UR seems like they have great customer service. That's what makes me stick with a company.
He suggested that since my Z is basically a track car now that I go with a test pipe to avoid any more problems with HFCs. High heat is what eats them up I guess, but I really don't want to rasp and extreme loudness of a test pipe. I think the motordyne ART pipes are supposed to solve those issues though.?.?.?

anyone know what might be creaking in the rear of my Z since the weather got cold? sounds like a old wooden door at low speeds forward and reverse.

My Z creaks a lot at lower speeds like thru a parking lot.
It could just be the Styrofoam in the back under your matt....I have my spare out and nothing back there so I hear every little thing back there.

Hey Eric - I got that email about the race - that would be fun - will have to see where i'm at fininicicicicually -
Fith - I'll be going with a WIX fuel filter - but not i haven't changed mine out here - i HIGHLY suggest getting some line wrenches if ours indeed is a bolt in type - because HOLY CRAP - those things are sometimes very difficult to get undone - thanks for the heads up on not going with BMW - that was pretty expensive - but I think i would have tried lmao -

On the funnier side...here is a post I ran across...
Low mileage ???....86,000 for a 4yr + old car. I know it's a Honda...but 86k is not low mileage !

what cracks me up about the car is how much they want for it.

tony from motordyne told me via email "they dont make much of a difference in the F/A ratio when changing from HFC's. the built in defoulers will keep the CEL off about 98% of the time."
