Small cats?

I just finished the install of my Pacesetter LT's - and was just pointed to the catted Y that texas speed makes. I used to work as a welder, so I have all the equipment to do this myself, but I'm wondering what cats they are using as they seem incredibly small?

I'd go with the ORY - but I have the loudmouth exhaust, so I wanted to get the marginal extra noise reduction they offer by having them on.

Anyone have any idea what's the smallest converter available? The carsound units are slightly too large for the drivers side - or I'm finding the wrong ones.

I thought if I found a small enough 3" in/out unit, I could fit it on the drivers side - but the ones on the Texas speed assembly look to be 2 3/4"?

I'm stuck doing this myself, as I've had my car brought to 4 different shops now, none of which will even touch it - so any help would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

Re: Small cats?

Could always put a pair of bullet or spiralflow mufflers in the Y too, or replace the resonator with one of the 2 types of muffs I mentiond.

The last option would be the cheapest and easiest.

Another option would be to run some of those muffs in the tail pipes.

Re: Small cats?

there are now cats that you can stick in the pipe, with a little bit of weld juice. i dont know where to find them, but jet hot offers them in their new y-pipe. i imagine they are alittle expensive, but still. it's an amazing opportunity for any engineers out there.
