except the x force ones flow not much better than what you already have.

Metal cat are the best on the market. get one of them you won't be sorry.

don't go a cheapie

lol, now he tells me :P

from what i understand, the stock cat flows 250ish. the xforce is over twice that. has to be an improvement.

with moderate boost and stock turbo, i reckon it will do the job.

Hmm, i dunno, spending a heap is overkill, its not like there going to be baffled, most hi flow cats will flow pretty good, that said i got a $250 one, which i deemed mid ranged, i'll post dyno results after i get it installed (with new split dump/front mind you), but i'll post em anyway

i ended up taking julion advice and brought a catco cat off BATMBL..

* 3" Catco cat BOLT ON (metal inside, 5" round body **not 4" like Magic cat & Metal cat**, 200csi cell - 706.2 CFM! **Outflows Magic cat & Metal cat**, EPA & CARB approved) - GB price only $360 including delivery

seems priddy good any one know much about this.. ?? is it as good as metal cat??

Hmm, i dunno, spending a heap is overkill, its not like there going to be baffled, most hi flow cats will flow pretty good

that's what i reckon. going from a stock compliance cat (hope it's not gutted when i take it out) to a 3" highflow has to see some decent improvements.

Yea if you want to shoot flames theres a straight pipe on ebay for $70.. so theres no point of gettin a highflow 3" and gutting it..

but personaly id rather spend $10k + on mods then give it to the goverment..

But i saw a 32 the other day shooting flames at me.. it was very impressive and i wish it was leagal...

fitted the xforce 3" highflow cat the other day (onto full 3" exhaust). very happy with it.

seems to have gained ~1psi extra boost, so i have to figure it has improved flow somewhat. the exhaust note got a bit deeper, but not really louder, although slightly droney now at certain rpms.

i'm considering a resonator somewhere after the cat, to quieten it down a bit, get rid of the drone. this wouldnt affect flow, would it?

The difference between a 3" ceramic and metallic one might only be 5% peak power. Probably not much with a mildly modded car but would definitely become a potential restriction at big power levels ie >250rwkw.

Personally I got the 3" Catco steel cat & am very pleased.

I got my car dyno'd the same day as another 33 with only a cat back system & had 26KW on him or 177KW at the wheels. No other engine mods besides the full 3" system have been made to my car.

if you want a resonator, get a resonator. its your car. whats right for you might not be right for others.

geee thanks man. :)

itll get rid of the drone and wont harm flow a hell of a lot

that's what i was asking, will it get rid of the drone, affect flow, and is there any recommendations ?

i know very little about resonators, besides they change the area/freq on the way thru, i think.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
