ERZ Performance High Flow Cats, Install and Review Thread

[bluestyle55]

I spoke with Tommie @ ERZ Performance today and he assured me that the bend is intentional. He told me that each cat they make goes through a quality control process where the cat must fit into a master jig which replicates an actual install. If it fails that..it gets scrapped.

He was really friendly and knowledgeable.

I can tell a fair amount of detail was paid to mine…all the burs and welding anomalies have been filled off.

Mine are definitly going on this Saturday. I will update my thread with the videos

I recall being very impressed when I looked mine over before install. I'm pretty picky, so even though I can't recall details, they must have passed mental QC eval.

ERZ is great on the telephone. Don't be put off by some of the short, grammatically incorrect replies they post on here. These guys know what they're talking about and are very straightforward if you have questions or issues.

Just got off the phone with ERZ and I'm very happy with their customer service They've already faxed me a return shipping label and are sending out a replacement. Looks like I just got a bad apple. Glad to hear everyone else's looked good.

Don't let this discourage anyone from buying these. I'm taking down the pictures so people don't think they all look like that. This was just a bad set that slipped through the cracks. I'll update when the replacements arrive.

Thanks ERZ!

it was nice talking to you, I will check before I ship your new HFC.

Did you check my e-mail?
I'm waiting for your proforma invoice and banking information.
I'm tired of waiting for your reply.

Holy mother of god...I just creamed my pants. I installed the ERZ HFC's today and omg. The sound is freekn nuts. While I was outside my car...my buddy did a hard pull away and wow...not sure what the words are to describe how sick it now sounds. And I definitely feel a HP gain. I feel the power especially on high RPM shifts; the pull is much smoother and harder going in the next gear (2rd through 6th).

Go to ERZ's web site and order NOW...don't waste any time thinking about it.

BTW - I do not get any hiss (typically with most HFC's) with my Invidia Gemini setup


I will post an updated video tomorrow on my person post ( http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...fc-review.html )

Totally agree. When I put mine on, I was shocked at the butt dyno difference. I was spinning the tires with shifts into 3rd pretty easily (winter tires though) and this wasn't happening with the stock cats.

When I put the winter tires on in November, I remember being bummed out that my car turned into a granny mobile. I can't wait to put the summer rubber back on and try out the HFC/CBE combo for real.

Maybe after you get the replacement you should show a before and after, old pics vs new pics. That way people know what to look for and it still shows that they took care of you. I understand wanting to help them since they helped you but that would be a good reference for less knowledgeable forum members in case it happens again. Just a suggestion, totally up to you.

Good call, thanks for the quality control. I'm really considering getting some.

Post sound clip here, so we can review it together.

one more think my HFC is completely T-304 stainless steel, even the flange is stainless steel (half inch thick) bracket 02 bung all stainless.

most exhaust if not all flange are not stainless you can use a magnet to check.
