I have the 3" 'Metal' Cat and whilst it is an improvement in terms of rwkw on the factory unit , I would not want to get into a pissing match to say which is the best Cat with out the technical info (test data ) to back up my argument. If there is info out there then I would like to see it.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>As I said earlier I have these on mine I gained 18rwhp then tuned over 60hp at the tyres when I changed to twin cats and dump and exhaust..My exhaust guru put one of these on a flow bench and it flowed close to 750cfm..I run up to 26psi of boost through them and run 536hp at the wheels this is proven.. I know people trust what I say on here, you dont have to if you want..http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...topic=15748&hl=This link will show youjeff<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If I just wanted to upgrade the CAT due to financial constraints what size should I be going for ? 3, 3.5 or 4 inch? Do all three cost the same? I have been quoted $350 for a 3.5 inch Metal CAT. Do you think we can get the same group price as the rotary boys ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If you want to run over 13psi boost I would save your money and get the dump pipe done with a 4 inch cat and if you dont then just go to a 3.5 highflow cat of your choice but I do recomend the magic cats.... I also run NOS through these cats aswell with no hiccups..jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 7m 3d Location: Gold Coast Posted 22/01/06 12:41 PM Share Posted 22/01/06 12:41 PM I pinched this from another forumHere are some facts on Metallic Substrate Catalytic Converters:Metallic Substrates are superior to traditional Ceramic Substrates which have been used by the previous "name brands" of high flow catalytic converters. This is because the walls of the substrate are thinner, allowing greater flow.MAGIC Metallic Substrate Catalytic Converters flow up to 50% more than their traditional competitors. Fitting a MAGIC Cat has been shown to increase power by up to 40HP at the wheels.Catalytic Converter substrates are coated with material which produces changes in the gases which pass over them. The more cells per square inch the more effective is the catalytic process because there is more surface area.Magic Cats are constructed with a 300 cell per square inch metallic substrate, and 304 stainless steel body.Any catalytic converter which is not a direct fit replacement for the original will need modification to fit a vehicle's exhaust, or the exhaust modified to fit the cat.MAGIC is a registered trademark.Magic Performance is an Australian businessOur Australian Business Number (ABN) is 18097792437We have street front address which is 25 Carter Road, Brookvale, NSW 2100We have a workshop with a NSW Vehicle Repairer's LicenseWe can fit any product we sell or advise your prefered fitter on correct procedures.Magic Cats have been independently flow tested against major competitors products.Magic Performance provide a range of products to fit 3 inch, 3 1/2 inch and 4 inch exhausts.Magic Performance is the only supplier of Metallic Substrate Catalytic Converters in Australia with inlet and outlet of four inches.If you have any questions about extreme flow catalytic converters, phone Magic Performance on 02 99391644 or post here. We actually know what we are doing, not just selling the product. yes.gifCheers,The team at MAGIC PERFORMANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can we organise a group buy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
