Being a Ballistic cat or other brands?Exhaust shop I spoke too today mentioned one supplier now also putting "pins" through the casing to secure the core when being used for turbo or supercharged applications! All well and good but this guy is charging a good $100 more than what I can get a Ballistic for.Anyway really keen on the Ballistic Metal Core cats... but just wanted experiences whether the cores come loose over time?Cheers guys...

Previously had a Metal Cat that failed within a year. (biscuit came loose)The Ballistic core is welded to a inner sleeve, which is welded inside the body. I don't see this one coming loose. and the cells are very open, so should resist carbon build up / blocking well.Flows really well also, about the best there is. Very happy with mine.
