AMS uses true North American GESi Gen2 cats, Depo uses generic Chinese junk. Not insulting your choice, just stating facts. I probably did more aftermarket HFC research that just about anyone when picking cats for my C8. The AMS cats are a true 400-cell S-wound 49-state legal EPA-certified core.

With Depo cores...you'd be better off with resonated catless.

If an aftermarket HFC isn't made by GESi (300 or 400-cell) or HJS (200-cell), it's not worth buying.

thanks! I decided to go race version Catless LDPs.

I'm actually surprised Depo is still around! I remember them from ~20 years ago.

Thanks for posting this. Just FYI, after you posted the link, I have been in contact with Spool about their resonated full downpipes. They came in yesterday and I picked up from their shop yesterday.

Waiting to put them on as well because I will have to tune. I went with the Boost logic '3 cat back and now the Spool Performance '3 resonated full downpipes. Let see what happens. Cheers!

Nice. They had a bunch of shipments going out yesterday waiting for pick up.

Yes, Houston. When you posted Spool, I was like this is it. After speaking with them, I was sold. So yea, I'll let you know.

As of right now, I love the Boost Logic exhaust. Sound very good. Deep and gets better as the rpms go up. We'll see how it sounds after with dp.

Sure. The plan is to put them on Jan/Feb. Gotta get a tune after install....$ Full resonated.

 

[KrackaC8]

Very nice! Looks great. Mounting bracket? Are the inlets a full 3.0" as well? It's hard to tell in their website pictures. My big debate is resonated 2.5" (B6) vs resonated 3.0" (Spool) to pair with my AWE Touring...

Bracket and all. The welds look good as well. Going to cerakote them and wrap.

Interesting on the coat + wrap. I've been debating which to do; was very happy with the Cerakote on my C8 headers. I always did ceramic coating on my Evos too, but have our Wrangler wrapped with DEI Titanium. I assume there's a Cerakote coater locally here in Houston somewhere? (we recently moved from Dallas to Houston)

Some may say it's overkill, but the more heat I can retain the better. Besides, I am using the c-series cerakote. I don't drive in the rain (not my daily), so I'm not worried about the wrap getting wet and retaining moisture.

As info, the DEI Titanium exhaust wrap doesn't need any special sprays or coatings to handle rain, etc. It's been through rain, mud, drug over rocks, and everything in between on our Wrangler and still holding up well.
