This may be a new thread that should've been obvious. We all like the rotary sound....dont want to lose it but to keep it down and clean up our rich dump with out totally killing the HP would be something.Here in LA. we dont have enforcement and smog test but I lived in Cal. so I know many of you guys have to pass smog there. Maybe members who have tuned down the noise and the eye watering ,throat swelling mixture can offer some cats or other things that have helped!Oh and dont forget now a 4" pipe is all the rage.

My friend and I both installed metal substrate cats on our single t fds at the same time. Neither one of us noticed a difference in performance. The exhaust smell is gone, the volume is about the same, but the sound quality has improved a bit (less rasp).

Random Tech makes 3.5" and 4" in/out versions of their metallic substrate cat according to their web site. Martel Brothers carries the 3.5" and smaller sizes, but I didn't see the 4" size listed.

Mine has a 4" core with 3.5" inlets. I believe the company is called Dynamax. Frankly, all the cores I've seen look the same; 4" canister with taper down ends going to 2.5-3.5."

so i guess getting 4" inlet and outlet, and getting 4"to3" reducers is a good waste of money huh
