any exhaust shop should have an off the shelf cat convertor, or high flow cat.

however if you want a specific "hyundai" cat, try KDMstuff.com, however they are the same as any other item.

I've had some good experiences with Metalcat's, and any exhaust shop should be able to get them. I'd suggest oversizing though, using a 4" cat and 2 x 4" - 2 3/4" reducers to the flanges.

Yah definitely, We put a 2.5 inch on liz's 2.5 inch exhaust and it is a high flow unit, it sucks balls. Totally restricts the exhaust, makes a droning sound, I can FEEL the backpressure generated by it. I'm trying to convince her to remove it, put in a blown O2, and save the good cat and o2 just for the yearly tests.

It's such a restriction...

We tried to put a cat on a 500kW, RB26DETT powered Skylline once(it was the GTS-T with no fancy electronics or 4WD) The 4" unit robbed it of more than 30kW ATW. We couldn't find one large enough to do the job.

But a cat that size should suit low-mid end output fine; its when you cross the 280-300kW mark that things get nitpicky IIRC.
