Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the cats - when they were on my Cab, they worked fantastically well - no rattles, rasp or leaky sounds what so ever. Top down under all load scenarios resulted in just a really nice, deep, exhaust note. Nothing like a Civic with a fartcan. There are enough guys running the AWE cats here that we'd certainly heard similar complaints.

My setup was X51 Headers, AWE Cats, PSE. The stock Porsche clamps are pretty easy to install, and the extra set of clamps I put in the box were in good shape. Anyway, it sure sounds like you've got enough experience installing exhausts that this shouldn't be the issue.

If indeed the cats are somehow damaged internally, ship them back to me, and I'll give you a refund for your purchase price. I doubt UPS could have damaged them given the care taken in packaging, but you never know.

You are right - they weren't cheap, and they should be as described.

Sincerely,
Gundo
