ERZ Performance High Flow Cats, Install and Review Thread

spearfish25 · 02-07-2010, 09:48 PM

Well, remember that I'm the only person on the forum that actually has these installed (I think). Blue will have them on in a week or so. Given that tons of people have the Berks and a less than a handful have the ERZs, I'm not surprised that no ERZs have thrown a CEL. I've had mine on about 300-400mi without a CEL. Knock on wood.

I believe there is another guy on here that has them installed and I recall reading that he has not thrown any CEL messages.

They will also sell an additional L shaped piece of hardware even if you did so there are no worries to be had.

I have about 250miles now on the ERZ HFC and no CEL light!

And I don't have the extended L anti-foulers installed so seems pretty promising.

Looks like I'm the guinea pig leader with about 600mi on them

Thanks for the review spearfish

I pulled the trigger on these today. I'll post up some before and after videos as well with the stock cat back.

ehhhhh...stupid snow is holding me up. Its killing me seeing my ERZ's sitting in the box.

Maybe I should get some canned air in the mean time and see how it sounds going through em.....??

Really looking forward to these

Mine just arrived

I was looking them over and noticed the entry and exit have a bit of a lip from the inner tubing. Yours look the same in your photo, spearfish. Think it's worth grinding it down a bit to make it a smooth entry and exit? Also the flanges on the entry have a little curve to them but I think they'll be fine once tightened down along with the gaskets. I'll post up some pics in a bit.

P.S. Not trying to take over your thread, spearfish. ERZ said they wanted to try and keep all the info in as few threads as possible

I'm going to attempt the install this Friday night hopefully. I'll post before and after vids and dB readings.

Zsteve · 02-16-2010, 11:15 AM

is that the connection for the o2 sensors in the pic? Looks short.

Hmm dont know if I like the looks of how things arent lining up or being straight. Let us know how they do, I might have to send them back if I dont like they way they are lining up inside.

ERZ is that normal for the insides to be not flush with the walls and all? And the slight up bend on the bolt-on part?

No those are the bungs for a wideband. The O2 bungs are much longer.
