Thanks! There are no markings of any kind on the cats. But they do work!

Icode exhaust installed!
Drained and refilled diff as well since break-in period is done.


painted the back face and tips






titanium fasteners of course!




2mm titanium washer in between the flanges to prevent the ti flange from warping and still provide a proper gasket seal.

Initial start up was surprisingly very quiet. It has gotten a little louder after a quick drive.

I am sure they work great, just wondering how hi-flow of what cell count those are.
​​​​​​@ModInJapan might know.

We need to hear a driving and WOT video with your exhaust setup. Sounds exotic!

Got my ICODE carbon fiber hood. Fit is …I’d say 9/10. It needs to be clearcoated.

One of the things I like about the icode hood, I can install the factory insulation on it. Had to drill a few holes and trim out the portion under the vents.

Just clear-coat? I would paint it and just leave the vents exposed. But of course, that is just me.

Yes, the current plan is to just clear coat it. We’ll see!

Decided to get the hood professionally clear-coated now instead of doing it myself next Spring. Got some titanium hardware for it as well.
