On our bench the smb flowed 660 cfm, the way smb measured the flow was very crude. Its a bit hard to sit there and make statemnts of what cats flow better unles you have tested them all on the same bench.....P.S what test pressure did you use to flow it? and what brand?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>sorry but im not buying into this...how can you get just 390cfm from the 3.5 metal cat when the 3' model does this:I spoke to option1 garage about these cats on the phone and he said the 3.5' model flows in excess of 600cfm.

I dont care if you listen to me or not, like I said im not here to sell you a converter, look up smb and get one if you want one, I use them as I have tested them on the dyno and the flow bench. Buy what you like.. I know I would. Im just not one that buys things or recommends them because I get a better mark up on them.But hey you have a pretty block graph that says his flow 500 so you must be right, I just have a flow bench worth over 30000 dollars to test things on, what would I know Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21203-is-this-what-everybody-is-doing/page/2/#findComment-313362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 100 cpsi it'll flow better than the SMB @ 200 cpsi. Downside is you need 200 cpsi to pass emissions.Downside to the 4" SMB is ground clearance. It hangs down a good 30mm lower than factory. My suspension is stock, and the cat scrapes on kerbs and speed humps if your not carefull.I would recommend twin cats of any description to anyone with lowered suspension.Also, If the twin cat pipework is extended down the back, there is a more efficient flow and better cooling with twin pipes over a big single. What's a 3.5" piece of pipe flow?? anyone??

I for one am one of them people who like to hunt for cheaper alternatives that will suffice my needs, sorry if I cant write my mods off on tax like others out there...nobody is going to want to mofidy their cars at all soon if tuners dont stop acting like pricks to US, the customers...
