Which front/dump pipe a cat should i go for?

BOS (batmbl)

cat 3" large body cermaric inside $230

and SS dump/front pipe - $380

= $610 all up

Just Jap

SS cat 3" (xforce) flows 570cfm $160

and dump/front pipe SS - $250 +p&h

= so roughly $450 if del is $40

Is there any real difference between BOS and JJR? THe cats would be roughly sam size, but the dump/front pipes would there be much difference between these, cause its an extra $90 just to go for the BOS one....

I know that the BOS front/dump is proven to add 16rwkw and, would the JJR one give the same kinda power?

u could even get a flyn dump front but its not split. IMO it would be better than both the above mentioned as the airflow never gets interupted from the turbo to the cat.

and about the cat, just get teh JJR 1, it is more than sufficient and is rated i belive to 250odd RWKW. correct me i im wrong. unless you plan on more than that then lash out and spend like 400 on a cat.

split dumps try to minimise the turbulence in the exhaust which you get when the wastegate opens. it separates the two flows until further down the pipe. therefore the longer the two flows remain separate and the smoother the two pipes join up, the better its gonna be. you need to look at the pics of each.

i dont know bout the fitment of either model. you also need to consider where the o2 sensor hole is placed. im guessing that both have good fitment and design* so its probably up to your tastes

*note i havent actually seen either of these pipes

just get a 3inch front/dump pipe in a mandrell bend made up from your local exhaust shop and get a 3 inch metalic hiflow cat while your there. should cost you about 800ish including labour. im not using a split dump, complete waste of money if ur not going past 240rwk.(hardly no turbulance) if your gonna go past 240rwk youd need a non turbulance dump pipe.

I have recently purchased a BOS importing Catco catalytic converter & have no complaints!

The Catco product is excellent quality and is fully ADR approved. It also comes with quality gaskets.

I could not believe the difference in weight between my standard cat and the Catco item. This alone suggested the internals where considerably different.

Chat to Michael at BOS as you may only require the smaller body 3 inch cat which is said to be suitable up to 230rwkw.

The larger body 3 inch unit is best for vehicles over 230rwkw.

Well atm i have 194rwkw on 11psi so ill need the larger body cat for sure

Check the grade of stainless used for both dump pipes, could be the reason for difference in price.

I have BOS dump and metal cat (706cfm), can recommend. :thumbsup:

Is there any real difference in the metalcat compared to the large body? i know cermaic inside for large bosy and metal for metal cat...but does this actually help in performace....would this add power if i went the metal cat?

Not sure of the flow rate of the large body one, but I think the metal cat has higher flow rate. Yes you are right about the internals. If you ask Michael (BATMBL) he will be able to tell you. I assume the higher flow rate the less restrictive therefore allowing the exhaust to be extracted more quickly through the exhaust system, which will also allow your turbo to work more efficently creating more power.

The only mod I have on my R34 GTT sedan is the front dump pipe and metal catco cat from BATMBL and 3" Apexi exhaust, also a K&N panel filter, I made 166.4rwkw.

I think I remember you on from the 4 door cruise last weekend, were you the young guy talking to RCHOO in Warburton and didn't go up to Donna Buang either. I was the silver R34 sedan with the kids. :domokun:

lol yeh that was me :domokun:

Well you have seen my mods now and thats y im trying to get the front of my exhaust sorted out....but not sure which way to go, i wana try to get as much power out of this fron/dump pie and cat as possible, and make sure it flows well....

But ill talk to michael at BOS and see what he reckons

I also found out that the just jap one is only 3 inch where the seperate wastegate split joins to the bottom of the front pipe, whereas the BATMBL one is just after the dump part of the front pips, so more power to be had there for sure......but now just to work out for the cat

Thanks for the help Issy :P

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
