Does replacing the cat make much difference, and is the "Metal Cat" suitible for the T. Running CAPA generic tunes at present with custom tune very soon. Should I replace cat before custom tune?

If you dont want to have to pay twice for custom tuning, then it would be a good idea to do as many mods as you can at the same time then get the tune.

Thanx for your reply. It's a shame that a big percentage off members from this forum consider themselves above others and can't share their knowledge to help others out. It appears that if your not in the "in crowd" your wasting your time!

PS: Top looking T. I settled for Lightning Strike, but originally wanted Rapid.

You have just proved my point! You where the 103rd person to view this thread, and didn't make a constructive statement!

Yes you may think it is bullsh*t as do I. But 104 veiws and no one has fully answered my original question.

The knowledgeable people on here probably do get sick of all these questions, but hey "That what forums are for" to share info!

Mate, forums are for sharing info BUT if you know that much, you'd also know that THERE IS A SEARCH BUTTON!

Have a look around at, ohhhh, I dunno, the 87,086 threads on cats and then see if the majority of people here don't share info.

You are asking people to regurgitate, not share.

Lumpy :stirthepot:

No I'm not asking "people to regurgitate"! The tread below this "Is It Worth Getting A Edit?" has also been done, but members are giving him the curtiousy of reply!

That my freind is the difference!

Yes, replacing the cat will make a significant difference, and a "Metal Cat" would be suitable for your application. After replacing the cat you should immediately retune the car, as it will overboost and/or lean out too.

You might want to consider stretching your budget a little further and doing injectors at the same time. With the cat replaced you will be at the limit of your stock injectors, if not past them.

How'd I go?

You might also want to look at Magic Cats, very similar but apparently flow a lot more around 725cfm from memory, and of course 2nd CAI if you dont already have one, and as other have stated dont put them in until the day of your custom tune CAI and CAT may have car running lean, injectors will over fuel your engine, foul your plugs and possbibly kill your cat if you run them with the standard tunes.

Cheers
