The ones I bought are part number 59959 - same as what's pictured on the un-naturally spotless underside of moregrip's truck:









The way these elements are made in a spiral like this would seem like they should be well able to handle thermostatic expansion better than a matrix element. Visually, I'm impressed. We shall see how these hold.

Well, yes. Try those part numbers in your favorite online parts catalogue. I don't think I can be any MORE specific with the descriptions. These are it.

Price was $115 each. I don't know what the flow numbers are, maybe Richard will see this.

Here's the infamous thread where I first saw these...

$115 is a good price, I think they're $150ea on Summit. I didn't want to pay that much so I bought two of the biggest Catco 3" in/out at $56ea with Hooker supercomp and a 4" diesel turbo-back. I haven't welded it yet and I would also be interested in comparative flow numbers. If it's truly better, I would buy the Magnaflow. The Catco seems to have a bigger surface area for the exhaust to diffuse at 6in x 3.25in but the holes look smaller than the Magnaflow.

edit: MPE-59959 I see are $115 at Summit now.

I checked on Magnaflow website and I can't find them, I guess they are the last ones to have their product.

Anyways, what is that max diameter of the 59959 compact cats? What is the flow data for these cats?
