Any single turbo FD guys have a cat in their down pipe?
I'm getting a little sick of the odor and am looking for a place to stick a catalytic converter. I have a RX-7 store mid pipe with a resonator and don't believe there is room for a cat but there seems to be a good deal of it the down pipe. By room I mean length of straight pipe to weld in an additional part. Most cats I see wouldn't work due to how large they are but I have seen some slim ones that look like they would fit.
So...
Do you?
What brand?
Is it even possible due to the heat?

I have a davesport metal cat and a borla xr-1 in my midpipe. it got rid of the smell but I haven't put more than 1k on it, so who knows how long it'll survive.

i had a randomtech 3" cat behind my stock ported t04s boosting cosmo re
i put 10k on that cat, upon removing it (doing a new setup) i had melted or deforemed a majoirty of the catalist
i however ran a very lean (15.5-16.0) cruise with alot of timming and very high egt's, alot of thoes miles were highway miles
the cat in my case was aprox 24" post turbine, maby a little more
Thats my only experience.

Does anyone know whether a ceramic or metallic cat would handle the heat better?

I called random tech, and Dave had some knowledge of them being run on rotaries.
Main failure of most cats are because of untunned decel maps, spitting too much fuel
i'm contemplating on going with the randomtech 4inch in/out 5inch casing

My decel maps while they were not optimum were fairly tuned.
i think the majority of my problem was the high egt's i ran and having it right at the end of my dp.
If i use another cat ill move it farther down.
