its only a matter of time until you get a cop that knows what he's doing and taps your cat thats punched out and hears the "ding" then your screwed

i nearly got dicked when the cop kneeled down to look under my car, lucky he didn't see the straight pipe, after that i got myself a metal cat, f**k that fine for a joke... its just not worth it

can somone accutally confirm it IS a 10K fine!? In NSW?

quite appealing..

As said before..

I dont know many cops that rome around with a 3m wire.. that can go around 2 90 degree bends.. and would acctually be the wiser to DO IT

go for it..

we care making enough positive changes to afford a miniscule amount more..

this thread has run it's course. it's a pretty bloody simple equation. yes a gutted cat will flow more than a cheap, small body cat. a good quality high flow cat will probably flow more than a gutted cat. a straight pipe will most likely flow more than them all. of these options the only legal ones are either the stock small cat, or an aftermarket highflow cat. if you want to break the law my advice is don't post about it. the power difference between a proper high flow cat, and a gutted cat has been proven time and again to be 9/10ths of bugger all.

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
