bradsm87 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why run any cat at all on a racecar? Not a race car You'll get stung for it like that, no doubt. To inspectors/police/etc, merging the wastegate pipe after the cat is the same as having a screamer pipe, albeit without the noise. It breaks the rule of having EVERYTHING that enters the engine pass through the cat converter, and they're even picky about that over here in the nanny state Depends which state you're in . There's one state that's more "nanny" than WA and I can assure you, screamers and decats are the norm.

The Dan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why run any cat at all on a racecar? Because they are street cars also. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405106-best-catalytic-convertor-apart-from-hjs/page/2/#findComment-6452024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozodos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 IMO I would keep the stock cat and just run a cheapish 100cpi metal cat flanged to suit (make sure the core is welded in) because either way you're probably not going to pass an emissions test without the stock one (or close enough to stock).

bradsm87 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not true (true if the aftermarket cat is a generic one like most). A new 200cpi cat with newer tech coatings that is suitable for new Euro 5 cars is going to have better emissions and way better flow than a 15 year old stock cat.

bozodos Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 moreso I was thinking that it would be easier to just keep your whole stock setup rather than spend hundreds of dollars on a compliant cat that may or may not be still failed in the event of a test Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405106-best-catalytic-convertor-apart-from-hjs/page/2/#findComment-6468074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
