I don't know the diffrence, but I put the 99509HM on my truck 3 years ago and have had no problams with it. When I bought my truck there was no cat on it. So I bought this one because I was tired of the bad smelling exhaust.

i just got off the phone with my cousin and he said the heavy metal one is a cheaper catalyst that uses metal that burns the emissions instead of the OEM type cat. He said either will work fine its just up to me to spend the 200 dollars on the better OEM magnaflow or not?

Good deal! I would take a pic, but I am getting ready to leave to Missouri tomorrow morning. My camera is packed in my truck. But I could get it Sunday.
