Gotcha. Yeah, I thought I read somewhere that Kooks switched to GESi gen 2s for their green cats a little while back. The owner says these were bought directly from Kooks less than a year ago.

Fair enough; I wasn’t so much concerned about the size as they are the Kooks Green cats, moreso about if that slight substrate bending was normal. That’s totally fair!

Is this slight substrate bending necessarily indicative of failure? I was told this was normal to an extent, but maybe that's wrong?

Hey all!

I’ve been on the hunt for some Kooks green cats for when I install my headers on my 2018 ZL1 1LE soon; I initially bought a set of headers with high flow catted connection pipes, and was...

Thanks man! Great advice and will do!

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you say you think you should have gone with 1 7/8” headers instead of 2”?

Gotcha! How much of a gain would I see from using something like a Soler 95mm throttle body with an adapter plate vs. just using the stock throttle body with the Big Gulp?

Throttle Body Advice?

Hey all!

This is what normal operating pressure should look like. Slight drops to 27-29 (especially after WOT pulls) briefly aren't alarming either.

My one concern with going with a bigger throttle body is that you can't run a Katech 103mm on a stock blower, correct? It needs to be ported.
