I am planning to machine a piece of stainless to sit inside the cat perfectly then weld in. finishing buy smothing off with a die grinder.

I guess it would be what you call a really high flowing cat :P

Spend a few hundred now and get a decent cat, or pay $10,000 later on for punching the cat out, i know which one i'd be doing.

qft.

Get a good exhaust shop to make you up an exhaust from turbo back, better still get one to make one from cylinder head back - they will want to know things like cam timing and turbo specifics, and it will probably cost a fair whack - But you'll have the best performance you are going to get on the street.

Also remember how people think. If you're driving around a show pony that just screams "book me" (or "race me" - they are the same thing) you are always going to get more hassles from your local law enforcement department.

You can have a performance exhaust with a cat, you just have to go about it the right way - like most things in life.

I would suggest that all of you who have or planning to punch out your cat go to the movies and see "An Inconvenient Truth" starring Al Gore. Or at least watch the trailer on yahoo or something. Freaking stirring stuff. It took a movie for me to actually stand up and give a shit about global warming...

Am i gonna join greenpeace or joing amnesty international or something? Hell No. But I will do my part to help prolong the life of this small planet.

"An Inconvenient Truth" = typical propaganda

lets leave that alone...

as for cat punching, well i had a 2.5" gutted on my car and changed to a 3" high-flow and noticed no difference in power

i even have the gutted 2.5" cat sitting my garage (in brisbane) if anyone wants to take it off my hands for $25 :P

I'm glad to see your doing your part to help global warming by intentionally losing your liscence. Well Done!!!

I have all 12 points on my licence thanks :D

Oh, and I also have a high flow perfomance catalytic converted... and last time I heard I couldn't lose points off my drivers licence for punching cats in the face...

So ummm... what the? ...what's with the hostility... hippy :) :lol:

Sorry Wilch...got you confused with mass_iv. You guys have such similar avatars!!!! No Hostility here...to you or mass.

Unless ur runnin big power a 3" high flow will do fine IMO. i have a pipe runnin through my cat on mine, and it was noticibly different from changing, still has the 02 sensor on the top so it looks like its still a cat...

the sound is mad, and either way getting attention from the cops from that sound is the last thing i gotta worry about since it happens as soon as they see the car, let alone hear it or even see under hood...

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
