Removing Cat?

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

on my exhaust i still have the 2 inch cat in the middle, and im thinking of removing it and replacing with a 3 inch pipe to match the rest of the exhaust.

can someone tell me the benifits and debenifits of this?

cheers

itll flow better make more power, probably get abit more boost on the stock solonoid if you still run it, sound nicer and be louder.. if you get a half descent cat aswell it would more than likely have better emissions aswell as your old cat would more than likely be a fair bit past its used by date

those cheap 3 inch xforce cats for 175 do the job for a budget job.. you can get better ones with metal cores that flow more for around the 400 mark

a full 3 inch exhaust will be the best bang for buck upgrade youll ever get from your car

Matt is you car for track only?

if not i'm surprised no one on here has mentioned it being a illegal to have no cat.

if you still want to proceed look up a DE-CAT

basically looks like a cat but its hollow.

Good luck with it

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

i think that i will be going for a xforce high flow, i think its the safest option, no its not for track by the way

GKTECH has some good ones for like $80 new

I use a JUST JAP one and its pretty good quality, looks like a cat also

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

cool thanks

po-po gonna love you

[Krimz]

po po dont pick on me

DE-CAT = mad flames highflow = flames every now n then haha

[Mr. Keets]

Benefits. If you have low flow cat you will pick up some HP..and flames

Debenfitis. That's not a word..but marks for being creative . The car will probably spew nasties out the tip and I believe it's quite a big fine for attempting to ruin our fragile planet

Pick up used cat, gut it and run a piece of pipe through. At least that way if they have a look you've got half a chance. Not that I condone breaking the law

just thought I should mention mate, you have a white car.... so do I.... I gutted my stock cat and put it back in...flowed that much better.... got a decent amount of extra power.... BUT... because our cars are white and the petrol company's put "cleaning agents" in petrol... the carbon monoxide that is normally filtered from the cat now comes straight out the back.... its a yellow residue that after about a build up of a week or two will make the back of your car completely poo yellow.... which you then have to cut and polish off or use waterd down degs... any more then two weeks if a cop picked u up and knew anything about exhausts would give you a good slap even though you appear to have a stock cat in there...(big fines so I hear)

in conclusion I am now sick of being paranoid, sick of cleaning it constantly and sick of the horrible yellow... so I am going to spend the cash and get a nice highflowing metal cat and done is done!

btw.... I also have had a cheapi xforce highflow... going from a gutted cat to that was a big loss of power...if I was you... either gut your cat for the cheap option or spend the cash on a metal core.
