Even though we're only going mild, it'll still be fun @jollyjim81 yeah I thought mine might be too till it fell onto the ground - scraping my driveway everyday for 4 years I think just over stressed the flange crease and it cracked thru completely.

S1000rr New Member 8 Member For: 7y 2m 29d Posted 29/10/17 08:05 AM Share Posted 29/10/17 08:05 AM How can a high flow cat install really endanger the engine? The turbo has boost control to avoid overboosting. How does it differ from putting a muffler delete pipe in which allows less exhaust restriction .

Overboost is possible with more flow than the other stock mechanical components can maintain. The stock GT3582R turbo (and the stock FG XR6T turbocharger, although not quite as capable) is far more capable than the other supporting stock parts. The high flow cat increases flow of air away from the turbo much much faster than stock, whereas removing only a muffler just makes the car a little louder, but hardly increases air flow in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Trust me bro...tbh ;) 8===} Gold Donating Members 16,075 Member For: 9y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 29/10/17 08:24 AM Share Posted 29/10/17 08:24 AM The factory boost control is designed to work with factory parts and will catch the rising boost curve in time so it doesn't overboost. When you derestrict it with intake and exhaust mods the boost will rise quicker and earlier which the boost maps aren't tuned for. It'll trigger 'overboost' which isn't the end of the world but obviously should be avoided. You could swap various parts and just drive around it eg: give it half or 3/4 throttle without doing any damage but the proper thing to do is get it tuned.
