Metal Cat Opinions Plz .

[discopotato03]

Looking round for good high flow cats and the ones that look ok are the 3.5" 200 CPSI Xforce and Venom ones .

I'm thinking slightly larger body and 200 rather than 100 cell core so it may at least smell like its doing something usefull .

I'm not interested in bore size discussion because its enough to say 3.5 cat on 3.5 front pipe and neck down behind the hot bit .

OD size is obviously important because it has the clear the floor pan and not sit too low . 4 4.5 and 5" ODs get mentioned so are the big diameter ones hard to fit >

What's the budget? I have used the xforce, venom and magnaflow metal cats, magnaflow was prob best value for money. 200cell model.

Whatever brand you use, just make sure the catalytic is welded to the body, some do, some don't. Other than that, there is little difference in flow if the cell and body size is similar.

Seems like everyone likes the 100 cel 5" body Venom . I need something that's at least 3.5: inlet because that's what my front pipe is . The exhaust mob I use showed me a generic Xforce with long gentle taper cones and was thinking of cutting one end back at 3.5" . Gotta make sure they can do that socket joint in 3.5 as well .

Just spoke to George and he may be able to do me a 5" body 200 cell cat that's plenty good for ~ 300 wasps and not smell pulpy .

Thanks , A .

I've used x-force in the past, probably about 5 years ago.. mine dislodged and rattled like a broken diesel tractor on my old R33. Previous to that I used a ceramic _us_ J__ special X-Force cat, it ended up in my exhaust system after about 18 months.. crumbled like a violet crumble lol

"Perhaps" they have gotten their shit together lately.

But I'm using a venom cat, looking inside it's welded onto the body and the finish is very good for a cheap cat.

Venom 3" 100cpsi here, good quality bolt-on.

What Andy said! I got his 100 cell venom off him and it flowed nice made the powahz required also

the 100 cell venom 3.5" cat can be had cheaply off the venom website, more so then ebay.... also can use clamp on zorst couplers for cheaper then flanges on the cat
