    I did not ever look at the specs on those cats until today. They are OBD 1 certified... teach me to blindly follow you.

    Honestly, when I took it to the shop if the guys have flashed those in front of me I would’ve gone for them too. I just went for what they offered me. As for long tubes. I wish I could too. I can if I really wanted to I just don’t trust the sensor trickery for the long run cuz I know I’ll end up having problems.

    Those are probably a metal substrate vs the stock ceramic.
    The Magnaflows I have on mine and have hooked up a few others will is a 200 cell count metal spun substrate cat. 200-400 cell count is common and the lower the number the better the flow. It has proven to be an exceptional piece for its price (about $75
    Part # is 59959 for the 3" and 59956 for the 2 1/2".

    I talked to the vibrant tech because their website says not to use the 7101s for boosted applications but He basically said more than likely they'll have no issues - they're just covering their own ass for the warranty. They make and warranty the 7525 for boosted applications but they retail for $477 each on their site. I got them cheaper elsewhere.
    My guess is there's not a huge difference in flow between the two.

    I'm thinking it would not be a bad idea for me to clean up the intake ports on the lower plenum and install a 76mm Tundra TB, that should finish cleaning up my rich part throttle deal.

    :thumbsup:

    Hang on, is that a 76mm Tundra TB?

    You are correct, the GESIs are metal core 300 cell. Screenshot_20181011-000318.jpg

    That sounds like a bad MAF issue. Are you running an original OE MAF and what intake are you using? My URD one blows through MAF's every 6-8 months. Lmao.

    The Magnaflows are definitely a better value

    Not overly impressed yet. Still waiting for the V2 file to test out. I think we're approaching 1 year since the handheld was introduced and there's been 1 set of tunes.

    Thank you for the advice. I haven't cleaned or checked it. May be original for all I know. I'll dig for the thread on cleaning it and try that first.

    I keep waiting to see an exciting post of you getting the V2 brother. Alas, we wait on.

    If not Denso #197-6030 will be a suitable replacement. I know because I just replaced mine for the 6th time today. Lol.

    Sir Tomas,
    Have you not been following my y-pipe thread?
    I am not trying to sell you on anything just stating the simple fact that when you go equal length the exhaust pulses alternate evenly through the merge collector instead of fighting each other for the same space which is what causes the rasp sound.
    The exhaust note is significantly changed due to this. Dont take my word for it, just ask @White lightning boosted, @jojotoo, @loginfailed, @5thGearPinned, @Murphinator, @rjbiii, and many others are now in line. They can give an honest and unbiased review.

    Was hoping to have the file by this weekend to test at the dirt drag strip when I go to the dunes. I've got the IPT valve body done and am wrapping up the locker anytime mod for better launches in 4HI.
    It's end of season though so probably won't be as many v8 trucks to see in the rear view mirror.

    Tell me how you like the locker mod. I may try that.
