I thought there was a heat shield around the dump area or did you take it off for the photo? ps welcome that name didnt last long ahahg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had cats on me, all I could think of... took the heat shields off to check the manifold bolts and check the actuator.got it for cheap so The car is slowly being pulled apart for maintenance I gave it a wipe to clean it and some more pics. I thought it might be aftermarket because it's a different color to the rest of the system Edited 02/01/19 01:21 PM by I love kittens Added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I already punched myself in the face. I just realised it's a aftermarket cat. Has a big venom plate on it. Oh well, good surprise I suppose ?.

Good that you found the venom plate. Anyway, it's only a good thing if the car has also been tuned to suit the extra exhaust flow. Since you have a FG, you can make high 200's at the rear wheels with just injectors, cat, fuel pump and tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the plan, I need to find somewhere on the gold coast to take it to see what's going in with it. See what's going on. I put in a boost gauge and oil temp gauge and it hits11-12 psi. I'm guessing it's been tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience with them recently? I see stuff from a few years ago but that doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them to let you know what's in it. It's defintely tuned if it's making smooth power to 12ish PSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious what it makes though. If its tuned could there be a hand controller hiding somewhere? Are the sct x4 hand controllers always attached or is it a plug in, use, and remove type of system. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there could be one somewhere, or the tune is just on the PCM itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
