Which Cat?

[Fujiwara]

I'm thinking of getting a HPI Dual/Split front pipe and either a Trust PE II or APEXi N1 Evolution for my R34 GTT.

Seeing as the catback exhausts are 80mm (or 80-95mm for APEXi) is it recommended for me to get a 3" cat?

Or does the size of the piping not matter in this regard?

There are so many brands out there, SARD, APEXi, Catco, X-Force, MetalCat.

The jap ones are tooo pricey for a cat so i'm looking @ the last three.

I'm looking to get a 200cell cat with maximum CFM.

Are there any issues with the cats mentioned or anything i need to know?

Any recomendations?

ps. I have tried a search

Thanks

and to think i thought this thread was about which pet cat to choose. LoL.

My skyline is my first car with a "Cat" got to love american mussel cars with only one will, To poison the enviorment and make alot of niose.

[Fujiwara]

Having to do everything legally costs so much darn money...

btw, do the skylines have 2 cats in the system? (1 in dump and 1 in zorst?) or is it just 1 in the back half of the exhaust?

[Basti]

just one

[stolen_s15]

Just one mate. What your thinking is one in the dump is flex pipe.

[Guilt-Toy]

437cfm is that low? what kinda cfm would you need for a 3" exaust with a engine running 400rwkw?

Metalcat $450 for a 3" one including fitting. I've gotten slightly better economy too (the cat was the only change I've made in a long while). Also sounds better than the (stock?) cat that was on there. I'm surprised it had any effect on the sound actually! Ballsier.

[Fujiwara]

One last ques.

Why do some people get a cat bigger than 3" on their 80mm piping exhausts?

Does it have any benefits?

[Ronin 09]

assuming that the 3" cat flows worse than a 3" pipe, people may use a 4" cat to get that bit of flow back

i.e. while 3" pipe > 3" cat

4" cat > 3" cat

so possibly 4" cat ~ 3" pipe...

or something...

lol

[MBS206]

Get a serious cat.

Don't know what I'm on about, google serious cat.

[Mr. Keets]
