OptionRacing is equivalent to the junk found on eBay. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they do sell their stuff on eBay. That being said, it probably isn't tested, made of poor materials and definitely not trust worthy. I'm looking at their website and they do state those are hi-flow cats, but judging by the size and price, they simply cannot be. They are just cheap, crappy resonators which for the last time, will not pass emissions.



This is what a REAL hi-flow cat looks like.


Inside looks like this, kinda like honey combs.

Do you already have the header on?

If so, you are probably lucky it fit. If not, hope that it fits... I really wouldn't trust the welds on those.

I wouldn't buy anything from them, period. But I like quality and proven parts and am willing to spend the extra dime. Save your money and buy good parts. In cases like this, it IS CHEAPER to spend big bucks on name brand parts. Why? because you won't be buying the same part AGAIN because it'll fit, work, and last the first time.

Return the headers, don't install them! They probably won't fit, and they more than likely will develop cracks.
