I used some copper Permatex sealant on all connection points during install. I don’t have any leaks. If I hadn’t used it, leaks may have been possible. That was the only thing I disliked on them.

Does anything have to be changed to connect the GM Performance cold air intake to an upgraded TB like a 95mm or 103mm? I’m curious if the tube will fit.

ARH would probably sell more with the GESI upgrade if they had the option on their website. Had I not emailed directly to ask, I would have never known.

I’m almost tempted to just go Kooks with green cats and keep the oem mid pipes and NPP. The more I read through the forum, the less I feel changing out the mid pipes is worth the money.

I mainly going to be low 500’s HP, so nothing that will be hard on any of the cats. We don’t have E85 readily available in my area, so I’m not counting on it to help.

Has anyone had or been around both of these cats in these cars? The GESI cats will run about $1,000 more. My state isn’t currently under emissions regulations, but could in the future. My main...
