Just called up Tony last night an ordered a pair of HFCs for my G. Tony is a real nice guy and answered all the questions I had especially about why he doesnt use the oem bracket to support the CATS.

He said the expansion of the stainless steel Cats bolting to the aluminum bracket can cause the bracket to break off when the motor twists. Where it breaks may be on the side of the Cat which could leave a hole ruining it. Also FI Cats are much lighter then the OEM Cats.

Are you guys getting a buzzing sound from your high flow cats around or above 2500 rpm?

Put the HFCs on tonight and very happy with the results. Thought it would be a little louder tho. Will they get louder the more I break them in? Besides that lined up great bought all new OEM gaskets so no risk of leaks, No CELS, one thing I recognized was with the o2 censors, the wires werent quite long enough to hook back onto the clip without making it really tight (nothing zip ties wont fix).Seems the Ypipe sits a little lower as well but that might be a figment of my imagination
