Racing Beat turbo back exhaust with cat??
Has anyone ran the full turbo back 3" exhaust from racing beat with a 3" high flow cat in place of the pre silencer?? Do you think this set up would pass emissions?? Would there be any HP loss by putting a high flow cat in place of the pre silencer??

It "should" pass smog. You might notice less power, but a cat on the S4 cars is good since the wastegate is so small, the cat would help control boost.
I'm planning on putting a 3" cat on my car when I install my RB setup. I just need to wait for the DP to come back from Jet Hot Coatings.

I have one. I passed smog. (you might not pass a visual...?) and it keeps my boost down to where I want it it would go higher without one.
I bought 2 flanges from racing beat cause I couldn't find anything in local shops that would match..
and I had a local shop weld in 3" SS pipe between the flanges and cat.

with the airpump and ACV hooked up. my readings with that cat (3 days old) and the 3" downpipe where almost exact to the stock cats (12 years old).
the cat is shorter. you just get some 3" pipe welded between the cat and flanges to make it fit.
mines been in for 6 months or so and still seems fine. I removed my airpump though right after the test which should make it last longer.
