While browsing the pages of the December issue of HR magazine I ran across this product review for Random Tech Catalytic Converters that bolt up to the stock LT1 Corvette Manifolds.

Pretty sure they've been out for a while? I know the L98 version has been out for a long time.
Still good to see a rag focusing on the c4 stuff out there....then again, it's all in what the advertisers will pay. Matthew |

These are very nice but if you have any fab skills, 2 hi flo cats are $130 vs $700.
And if you don't have a mig, $400 + 130 for the cats = $530, so you have $170 less and now you own a mig. |

Is that how you read the pricing? Has anyone verified $700 for the pair is correct? I went to Thunder Racing and saw a pair for a 95 'F' body in the $300 price range, essentially half the price you quoted. It just seems strange for such a big difference between the two bodies. Jake |

Jake, I read it as $316 for the pair as pictured. I may be wrong but that is what is represented in that clip. |

Damn! That's some pricey tubing! Amazing, my RTs were only like $250 or so from EM.

They've been around for at least the 8 years I've had my car.
~$300-350 each side is the typical pricing. I picked up a secondhand/new set for $300 shipped on CF a few years ago. They show up very rarely on forums. |
