Go for a decat through silicone intakes, $39.99, it looks like a cat but has a straight pipe through it! or go a r34 GTR car, much higher flowing than most high flows (thanks scandy) not sure on a price tho

How old is the CAT?

They typically should last a reasonable time. My last was a touch under 150,000km's before it began to break up.

IF its blowing out quickly consider having the tune checked; of which may also be related to your recent spark plug tip melting experience. :S

If something is off dropping another cat on to it is a waste of money as it will just break again.

when i got the car i was told the cat looked new, the thing with the spark plugs has been sorted, ended up being that the nos leaned out in two cylinders.

i didnt have an O2 sensor for awhile, in the last service it was discovered that it wasnt working, but i dont know how long before that it had not been working for.

there is no point in me getting a high flow cat, there are no benefirs, i have already been told that by John Keen, if it was turbo then yes it would be worthwhile, but cause im all the way naturally aspirated, there is just no point in me spending the money on something that is not going to benefit.!

If all issues are sorted just bang the guts out until you have the $$ to grab another cat. all though not really recommended legally.

Cubes, ive heard that banging the guts out causes too much turbulence in the housing, thats why decat's are used? I dunno, i think i read it somewhere

if you dont wanna spend the money why not just get a pipe to replace your car? ^_^

Also cats are worth good money for scrap, 30+ for after market and 70ish for a genuine, my mate whos a wrecker makes a killing on it.

Hi Cara,

I have a second hand cat sitting around it was only used for one week on my old 32 before having a race cat put on the car.

Send me a pm and i am sure we can make a deal for it.

No offence to any of my fellow Asian Bro's out there but does anyone have a chinese restaurant that may be interested.....they're supposed to taste like chicken!!
