Looking For A Cat Converter

[r33_crusier]

Hey everyone need some opinions on what cat i should get. Just got my self a 3" dump/front pipe, am trying to look for a good cat thats a good price.I was looking at a 3" high flow but what brand/shape/kind. Ive been told that one with a beel mouth shape is better for a turbo but i still dont know. What do you guys reccomend. If anyone is trying to ger rid of one let me know.

Cheers guys

You need to learn to search. For the highest flowing design do a search on these and check their respective sites: Metal cat, Catco metal cat & Magic cat. Most are supplied by some of the forum business traders.

Give Mark at Exhaust Technologies a call, he knows his stuff and can suggest the right cat.

Yea mate ive done my searching. Found some cats that flow between 400CFM and 450CFM, would these be fine. There rated cells per inch are 200. But my main answer was the shape. I know i need one that flows well.

Yeah hi-flow ceramic ones are fine, some gain will be made over OEM and still good for passing emission testing but, still restrictive and if they get too hot and over time they are prone to crumbling.

Edit: Sorry, looks like atm the only EPA approved metal cat is the Metal Cat. Unsure about Catco but, have confirmed that a lightly modified Skyline it should pass emission testing, and as for Magic cat they've changed their classification for 'race use only'.

Just go grab an X-Force one, had one in my old 33 and worked great.

IMO they all do the same shit!

Different brands etc, you won't notice any difference if their all the same size

Get this cat

[Murry33]

thats the best one you can get

[r33_crusier]

Get this cat

ok then ill use one of these you reckon it will flow well.

but i was looking at the metal cats but i dunno yet, any one have any knowledge one the walker ones. i can pick on of them up for 195. or a magnaflow high flow cat, but its an oval shape one, not round, for 170

[Murry33]

I'm sure you will be happy with it either way, if it's a high flo cat, Then it will do the job no worries, mine cost about $200ish from memory, was a xforce stainless steel one, the round shape, didn't make any real difference i could notice to be honest.

but nevertheless it's better to replace it because the stock ones aren't great.

I think have an old one that i took off my old car it had about a weeks use and was supplied with a ET Exhaust.

A straight pipe was put in the car instead of the cat. Would probably be good for turning into a decat if you wanted.

PM me if interested and i will try to dig it up for you!!!
