High Flowed Cat Opinions?

[Bronx]

yeh, i know that, but i thought he meant buy a 4 inch flange.... which confused me.

[Adnan r33]

naa not 4inch flange, someone said that if you have a 3inch exhaust that i need a 4inch matrix..thats what i ment..does that sound about right?

and i think ill pass on the decat..id be f****d if i get caught haha.

on a side note fellas, if i were to buy a turbosmart boost tee and up the boost to 10psi would i need a boost controller to set it to 10psi or can it be done on a dyno without a boost controller?

not a huge amount mate, just trying to minimise the restriction as much as possible.

Steel is a metal but I think you are asking if a metal cat is better then a traditional ceramic matrix.

most people believe that they are and alot of the literature seems to support it aswell.

[Bronx]

ceramic is fine, but therefore if you do hit aground or your car is lowered, its better to have a metal cat.

also ceramic is alot cheaper to manufacture.

if your going from factory exhaust to aftermarket with high flow cat. you will notice alot of difference in response. but if you already have an catback system then changing the cat won't do much. imo if i had $200-300 to spend. i'd get dump pipes + front. better bang for buck mod.

right so basically get a metal one?provided that money isnt an issue?

p.s if i were to buy a turbosmart boost tee and up the boost to 10psi would i need a boost controller to set it to 10psi or can it be done on a dyno without a boost controller?

the boost tee is the "controller". its pneumatic, it will regulate the boost. yes it should be set on a dyno if you would like it done properly. but more importantly, you will need an after market boost gauge, cos most stock ones are pretty rubbish.
