Best high-flow cat? Any suggesstions?

Need some performance rotaries to chime in:

(please comment from experiences, no guessing please)


Looking for best high-flow cat for my 1st gen. Important goals for cat:

1) highest flow cat ( most hp next to a straight pipe)
2) longevity/ durability (hot rotary breath)
3) still pass CA smog for many years
( not fail after less than a year as I have heard some burn out)


* heard some good things abut the bonz cat and random technology cat, who has heard better thngs about either?

* feel free to suggest any other models you know of that have been "proven." and where to get a good price


thanx in advance,
rotarypwrd tomas

As far as longevity, as well as simplicity, I am told that the cats that use a stainless steel element are the best. They can withstand a lot of heat, and on top of that, an air pump is not required to keep it from overheating. So basically you can keep a converter and ditch your air pump (if you have one, and dont need it for port actuation, i.e. turbo cars)

I've heard the Bonez high flow cat is the best for the rotaries.
