Texas Speed cats/FI
Has anyone used the Texas Speed headers with their cats on a FI car? If so....have they held up? I won’t be pushing anything above 600ish rwhp when it’s all said and done.

I ran the standard Kooks cats on my car, many hard runs through the gears never had any issues, the TS cats look similar. IMO, the guys that are running rich mixtures of meth / eth which can go as low as 5:1 A/F max rich power are injecting a whole lot more thermal heat load into the exhaust than what you are doing. i.e. the ultrarich mixtures that can be run are not completely burnt and the combustion continues on the cat substrate (which it was designed for) and that just means it gonna get heck of hot heck of fast.

I have seen threads in the forced induction section of people saying they burn up their cats. Although I think they were pushing higher numbers like 650-700+. I would read around in there a little bit or ask in that section.

Shouldn't be a issue at your power level.

I have the TSP 1 7/8" long tube headers with catted connection pipes, be advised they don't have any 02 bungs in the cats, you will need the catted x pipe if you want the downstream 02 sensors functional, or you can make your own bung in the catted connection pipe.

I'm in the mid 700's on standard Kooks cats. No issues in 5k miles including several track days. I run e60 on track days and most of the time on the street.

At 600-700whp there should be no problem running stock cats, being the LT4 cat is the same as the LT1 cat

If you drive the car a lot or put the family in it we usually recommend cats up until about 700rwhp. After that they can go pretty quick but tuning plays into as well.
