Cat Info

[dswiders]

Hi all,

I've got a Magnaflow Hiflow 3 inch cat into twin 2.5 inch pipes connecting up to the standard system. Cost me about $350. Running fine with 285Rwkw.

By the sound of GTP-330 hasn't taken out the centre muffler and is running 340rwkw's so just leave the buggar in there!

Your right mate, centre muffler still in tact and original

$200 for the piping required to adapt the SMB dump pipe and cat. That doesn't sound to bad a deal. Could that be made and sent anywhere?

Do you need a template?? I know where there's one hiding!!

$200 for cat installation and adaption to the factory exhaust system? Damn that's expensive considering I got my SMB 4" dump pipe and 4" cat installation for $308 inc GST.

After you install the bigger dump pipe and/or cat you will need to reprogram the PCM.

From memory my car gained 20odd rwkw mid range and top end replacing the dump pipe and cat.

In sequence of power ups, achieving 250 - 260rwkw is relatively easy with the flasher, but over that amount it requires multiple items to be replaced to make power at realistic boost levels. For example, my car made 260rwkw with the SCT tune with stock injectors running 10 psi, now it makes 310rwkw running 13 - 14psi. Along the way I've installed a bigger front mount intercooler (the factory unit was approaching it's limits at repeated power runs at 285rwkw), replaced the dump pipe and cat and have retuned it.

You'll find that replacing the cat and/or dump pipe will require you to replace injectors and intercooler as well for everything to function smoothly, and without placing a strain on anything.

what r u on about? .. youve lost me.. In one sentence you say its expensive @ 200 to have the dump pipe and cat installed and then say you payed 308 for the same thing............ wtf?

If you get it developed I would be interested so would a lot of others

I would be interested to but maybe only for the cat and pipeing to fit the original exhaust as I have no need for the dump pipe as 300rwkw is it for me and to save costs.

You have to remember though, there will be more work in gettting a 4" cat to adapt to stock exhaust, rather than fitting a dump/cat arrangement.

Dump/cat only needs fab on one side of the exhaust.. Bolting up the dump pipe is the easy bit.
