Jamsey Member 37 Member For: 14y 3m 23d Posted 06/03/11 11:35 AM Share Posted 06/03/11 11:35 AM Hey, if I were to only replace the dump pipe, mufflers, and cat in the exhaust to higher flowing ones, will this let the exhaust flow much better, or are the actual pipes a restriction also?I want to get a 4" dump pipe (which brand is proven?), run no cat (is this a good idea, or will be counter productive power/flow wise?) and replace both mufflers with a couple of resonators (are both mufflers restrictive, or just the centre one?). hope you can help, as this will be alot cheaper than buying a full exhaust.im only after roughly 330rwkw Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73661-replacing-only-the-restrictive-parts-of-the-exhaust/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace cat with high flow 100 cell cat... Rapids sells for less than $200... Get it welded in. Remove center muffler and either replace with straight through pipes or hot dogs... Prob $500-600 all up Inc labour... Will flow enough for 330+... I had 350 with this setup and had no issues with exhaust flow...Alternatively, you can get a full stainless xforce exhaust for $1500 from http://bestmufflers.com either 3.5 inch or twin 2.5... Both will make over 400...

I brought the cat pipe and it had a sh*tty cat that wouldn't flow 270rwkw and now it's a dead weight with no reply from rapid. Get a 5" body 3" in out cat. Mich at pit lane supplied me with a 200cpi one and it will support way more than the 311rwkw I currently have Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73661-replacing-only-the-restrictive-parts-of-the-exhaust/#findComment-1086769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Resident idiot.

The fine for no cat at all is stupidly high (if ever caught) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73661-replacing-only-the-restrictive-parts-of-the-exhaust/#findComment-1086797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get there, then replace the centre muffle with a better flowing one.I just purchased a 5 inch body 100 cell ballistic cat from sureflo exhausts on another ford forum.They are running special at the moment through that forum. Ballistic cats seem to be a good bit of gear with a good rep so I would look at getting one of these.Its the second one I have bought. The first was fitted to my ute. I am yet to fit this one.

Jamsey Member 37 Member For: 14y 3m 23d Posted 07/03/11 08:50 AM Author Share Posted 07/03/11 08:50 AM okay, I should have mentioned this car is not for street use (only occasionally, if my DD is off the road), its mainly going to be used for burnouts/drags, and I was wanting to know the cheapest route for a largely improved flow. from what I have read on here and other topics, if I go 4 or 5" dump, 100 cell cat (or none, which is cheaper) and remove the centre muffler, I can get the most out of the stock exhaust. is the rear muffler much of a restriction? thanks for the replies guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73661-replacing-only-the-restrictive-parts-of-the-exhaust/#findComment-1086974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
