Xforce High Flow Cat

[teng]

Anyone used these cat's before. I need some opinions before i rush to get myself one. From what the seller says, it will accept the standard exhaust temp probe which is a good thing right?

And how's the hiflow on this cat?

[Munkyb0y]

just jap sell these. buy it through them on here, you'll get a good price.

i had one of these. they are ceramic inside. good price, average performance. they dont compare to a proper stainless internal high flow.

What's the difference if the cat has an exhaust temp or not?

[hanyou]

in my old r33 gtst and 32 gtr i cut the sensors off cause i couldnt get it out of the stock cat lol.

causes no damage if thats what your asking.

the way i see it (since they werent built track/race cars), i dont need a sensor to tell me my exhaust is hot lol

[and3_3]

mmm my exhaust sensor wire got cut a while ago, the light in the dash came up and the check engine light eventually came up too. I've heard it doesnt affect anything but the lights in the dash annoy me and i want to get it fixed.

I'm hoping i just need the wires soldered together.

That's easy, just remove the bulb from the dash. I removed my HICAS Bulb as well as i'm waiting for my hicas lock bar to arrive.

Yup. That answers my question.

that isn't xforces high flow model, tho it does flow pretty good. it is a ceramic core

there is a higher flow metallic item, which flows upwards and over 800cfm depending on size

Personally...i found performance in these very very average...i picked up a fair bit of power and response going from an Xforce cat to a MetalCat...

[WYTSKY]

I was very dissapointed in mine, going from a gutted cat to this, because I have a white car and the carbon monoxide that normally gets filtered by the cat was turning my rear bar yellow that I had to keep cleaning off...

I used it for 20 mins, car was jerky and laggy, now have it sitting in my room... Im going to spend the cash and get a proper high flow metal cat....

[blitza]

It does well for me. Very noticable upgrade over a standand cat (which i had on with my turbo upgrade)

I was looking for a metal cat but wanted one bolt on and couldnt find one, so i went with the Xforce, and it still did me well A lot less lag and generally more power throughout the whole rev range

[bubba]

I have one and it's shiet, I only put it in when I have to go over the pits.

[limpus]

Seems like the general consensus is that its SHIET!!!!

[Angus Smart]

Metal cores are clearly the way to go..

tho i dont even use a Cat at all. ***********and my car is also not registered mr officer

[teng]

how can you tell if it's a metal cat? stainless steel exterior?

[bryno]

magnaflow metal cats are pretty good apparently.. at $229 theyre a hell of a lot cheaper than the MetalCat brand and catco metal cats..

ceramic cats for high flow turbo systems are rubbish..

[Munkyb0y]

how can you tell if it's a metal cat? stainless steel exterior?

metal cat, the brand?

or just a metallic cat in general?

a metallic cat has a metallic core inside, instead of ceramic.

looks something like this

I just upgraded my exhaust to an xforce system... noticable difference over stock lol... as for cat i havent used a metal cat so have nothing to compare it too.

Although the temp sensor didn't fit into the cat!!!! I had to take it to a chop shop for them to drill out the stainless steel hole a little wider then it screwed in nicley lol.

[dori34]

i had one in my old 180.

seems to be of good quality..

wasnt too bad for $100 brand new lol
