    Merry Christmas everyone!

    It seems the cats on my 5.2 355 have died. Can anyone point me in the direction of good sports cats that are durable?

    Thanks!!

    +1, Hyperflows for 7 years and no problems, do it right and you only have to do it once.

    Another nod for Hyperflows. I have a 5.2, no CELs or any issues at all. They are great.

    Having said that I have a set of virtually new (less than 500 miles) factory cats for sale if you or anyone else wants them...

    :)

    If your cats are dead, just head on down to your local animal rescue shelter and get a couple of new ones. Make sure to feed the new ones :)

    My comment depends on where you are located. If you are in a smog state, go for Hyperflows or something similar, but legal. If not, then either gut them or swap in test pipes. Of course, using high flow cats dictates using a high flow exhaust to wring the most out of them. Enjoy.

    Located outside of the US in Hong Kong. Local smog testing is becoming more and more stringent! So decat/straight pipes is no longer an option

    We recently made a slight change to our Sport Cats (switched to offset endcaps) that more closely resembles the factory cats - this improves clearance with the subframe. They're really nice pieces. Power (and sound) improves significantly. Below is a dynochart of a 355 with our full exhaust package, vs. the same car with our full package, but stock primary cats. 20-22 ft. lbs of torque gain to the wheels for a large part of the torque curve, and 20 hp to the rear wheels up top.
