would there be any advantage to using 3.5 inch?
I mean if the core is the same size for both 3 and 3.5 which seems likley, then whats holding you back is going to be the cat not the pipe diameter, it seems like there would be no advatage to using 3.5 over 3.

rmagic also sells a metalic cat with a resonator!
http://www.rmagic.net/catalog_all/pdfs/07-08.pdf
Only comes in 80mm though.
My answer is,"SO...." HAHA! It's the same price regardless of size from Revo-Tune.

RMagic linky no worky. You have to download it to view. It looks exactly the same bu the picture sucks.
The reason to get 3.5" mid pipe-cat/silencer combo is if your downpipe is 3.5" (single turbo most likely). If you are twin turbo with 3" down pipe then you get the 3" cat/silencer to match pipe diameter all the way back including the exhaust.

update from SMB
they will sell the 3" metallic cat with 3" resonator welded onto the rear of the cat for $620 (including shipping), if we can get 5 people, he will do it for $524 (including shipping)
the standard metallic cat (without resonator) is $457, or $362 for 5
this sounds a little cheaper than the Revo-Tune, and should be every bit as good quality, based on what Dale's experience
I'd like to place my order next week, anyone else in?

prob the best way to handle this is just send Grant at SMB an email and tell him you want in on the rx7club deal with Mark Strong
once he gets 5 orders, it's a go...I don't want to wait around for a month to get the show on the road, I need to get my car inspected ASAP
Grant@walkerman.com.au

please visit the group buy interest section and get in on this deal...if you're currently running a midpipe and are tired of the obnoxiously loud exhaust and/or fuel smell, this is THE solution! very low pressure drop relative to a conventional (ceramic) high flow cat

So what’s the current word on these?
Anyone that has a few 10k on theirs and has actually broken it down to have a look inside?
Has anyone taken a before and after WB reading to see a relative change in emissions at the tip (simply to gage the decrease in apparent smell)?
Has anyone with just a resonator and moved to a MSC done a before and after decibel measurement? Or long shot, resonator to resonator+MSC decibel test?
Are these decreasing in efficiency after buildup, or use in a high temp environment?
What’s the word on air pump/no airpump. I Thought these were completely unnecessary on these units?
What kind of change in “smell” can I expect going from a fairly rich tune single turbo with RX7 store Resonated Midpipe, and RB twintip catback to a MSC in place of the resonated midpipe?
Any long term users care to give an update?
What is the all around best model currently?
Looking for build quality, and fitment as priorities.
Full stainless a huge plus!

Here is the stock cat vs. the SMB (from this thread):
Stock cat:

25mph_2922_14.40__0.50_|_53__13____6__|_0.50__0.05__0.24_|_738__136___87
SMB cat:

With a civilized exhaust (I have the RB dual tip) there is no need for a resonator with an SMB.
