Kryptek49 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Recently purchased a pair of Torqen's High Flow Cat's for my HR, so thought I'd post up a quick review. Ordered from Torqen's website for around £410 - delivery was quick, around 2 days. On first impressions the cats looked good - felt solid and I was happy. Installing in the car started pretty smoothly - fitment is spot on, and it matched up to my Miltek Y Pipe perfectly. Unfortunately, when torquing up the passenger side O2 sensor, the spacer sheared off at the weld! I've attached a photo below. As you can see it was a clean break around the weld, and the exposed metal appears to be rusty. My neighbour who used to work in a machine shop had a look at the welds and wasn't too impressed, however the larger welds around the flanges all appeared to be good. I contacted Adrian, and he sent out a brand new cat which I received the next day. This one fortunately didn't break and went in smoothly. Got the car started, and the cat's sound amazing - very loud! (Exhuast is now Torqen HFC, Miltek Y Pipe & Cobra Non-Res). When cruising at 60, it is fairly silent, however as soon as you put your foot down it roars. It's a very similar exhaust note to before, just slightly lower and a bit louder which I'm happy with. Can't say I've noticed any increase in power, however it's only supposed to be a marginal increase anyway. Overall I'm very happy with them - customer service was excellent, however the poor welding may be a cause for concern. I'd still recommend the cats at this price to everyone though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieh6 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thanks for the review (a few years ago). How have they been in the time you've had them? Have they lasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
