never seen it befor u should ask if they have a cut in half shot so we can see what the inside looks like
it look slike he sells them from a 1.75" to a 3"
He's been selling those things on ebay for a long time but I don't know if it is actually the real thing. It definitely looks like it from the outside but I don't know. They do look nice tho!
oh and i can not find a brand website anywere there made by thunderbolt but i have no clue who makes them
Well untill we find out who makes it I don't think we will know if its the real deal.

Some so called high flow cats are resonators... but that one isn't. You wouldn't see the screen, instead you'd have straight through pipe and the bulge and in the bulge tiny corregations.
A test pipe is a pipe with no bulge but takes the place of the cat.
So this one may or may not be a cat.
You can buy cat meshes I found them while I was trying to track down cat makers, mainly focusing on those in china.

the guy at the muffler shop will just look at it and not think twice about it cuz it looks like a legal cat. and magnaflow's website says that it is...so to answer your question...yes.

Go with Random Technologies, they get good praise from auto enthusiasts. Just search around.
If you want to install a cat to have a cat then go with RT, if you want a test pipe buy a test pipe.

judging from the feedback i'm guessing the product is legit though they've got communication problems

In that epa link it says there is supposed to be a number stamped on it if it is a legal cat.
Required labels on the converters will have a series of letters and numbers and be in the
following format:
N/XX/YYYY/ZZZZ for new ones
U/XX/YYYY/ZZZZ for used
where N - indicates a new converter
U - indicates a used converter
XX - is the manufacturer's code issued by EPA
YYYY - is usually a numerical designation of the vehicle application or
part number
ZZZZ - is the month and year of manufacture (i.e., "0187" for January 1987)
Note: Converters manufactured for sale in California may have the letters "CA" in place of
the "N" or "U". Since California standards are more stringent than EPA's, these
converters will also meet EPA requirements.
yup
