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??

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.

Yeh heaps better, but like a $13k fine if you get spotted spitting flames out your zorst.

if cops do an emmisions test on your exhaust and find u dont have a cat. in w.a its 20k on the spot fine

MMM i would be very happy to hear info on the resonator Q..

And thats very nice power for just a 3" zorst.

Damm 20k well im not to sure about melbourne just herd by people so it might be 20 here too..

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.

    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
    • Hello, I am looking to replace my two rear drive shafts in my R34 N/A Skyline but I'm finding conflicting information. Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
