Need Advise on Cats - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jagdpanzer · 02-06-2008

Like a few of you guys I'm about ready to install a set of headers and performance exhaust system on my Z. However, in my case I'm still looking for the right cats to go with. On this forum I read where a lot of you have gone with Random Tech bullet cats. Here are a few questions I hope those of you with more experience can help me with:
What advantages do the RT bullet cats have over the others available?
Which particular RT model and size is best to use?
Which core type is better, ceramic or metal matrix?
Should some sort of flange connection be installed between header discharge and the cats or should everything be welded solid like Nick did? http://www.pnwzr1.net/Nick/Headers/Headers%20049.JPG
Is heat insulation or shielding of the cat necessary?
Where is a good place to buy RT bullet cats?
Are there any other cat manufactures out there I should be also taking a look at?
Pics would be most appreciated
Thanks
