i do know a little about random technology....on cat back exhaust tests on a turbo vehicle, they were not only the cheapest exhaust, but they also produced the smallest hp and torque gains. thermal r & d produced the best gains and they were priced just about the RT. i dont know about RT cats though. you should just put a resonator on your car, that will quiet it down alot

 

After I changed my exhaust from a 2.25 to a 3 and take the cat off is when i notice the smoke. There was no smoke before that. Then I took the car in to get some exhaust leaks fixed that were coming from the wastegate. And to get re-tuned. That's were they check'd everything. I have a magnaflow resonator on now. It's not heavy smoke and there's no oil and water mixed any where. All my fluids are good. The ems just isn't tuned. But I will have them chk the head gasket when i bring it back.

 

make sure u get a low sound cat converter, most hi flow cats have some loud horrible sound that overtakes the rest of the exhaust smooth sound. my hi flow cat is a good cat but dont like the high sound. and my mid section pipe from arospeed sounds like crap, im selling my arospeed mid section pipe, fits all 90-93 Honda Accords, perfect condition, its been used for about 3 weeks so far, the pipe is not defective, i just dont like the sound it makes from the built in muffler.

 

I went with the Metal Cat and I installed a 3" glasspack to quiet it down a bit. The sound went down so much and there is no smoke at all. It sound great and still spools up fast. I'm running about 17 psi of boost. The people at AEM are great the shipped my EMS back to me in about a week and a half. The VTEC kicks in every time. I'll get it re-tuned next week and I should see 300whp, but we'll see.
