R33 Cat Questions

[AFTDRK]

hey guys,

i need a cat of some sort to suit my S2 R33 to fit my 3 inch cat back system im going to be putting on next week, because there was a rattling sound i would hear occasionally coming from the cat and/or slightly behind it and as i was told by the guy at Exhaust Technology that my cat is stuffed, so im looking for some sort of low cost replacement (hopefully something around 100 buck) for the time being - hopefully someone has something , i was considering having no cat but im still unsure on this...

also on my car what is the exhaust diameter from the factory, and is this cat that i have pictured a factory cat?

hopefully you guys can help me out with some advice,

much appreciated,

p.a

I wouldn't risk running no cat, I think the fine is around $10,000. I'd love to just for the flames

I'm not sure of the stock exhaust diametre, sorry.

yeah youre right flames would be nice hehe, but yeah, not worth the risk ey.. i duno, just looking for a replacement cat then i guess...

what you got on youre car hillzy ?

[Hillzy]

I think I've got the stock one on there. It's got a turbo back 3", but I don't know if the original cat was used.

Mine is sitting near my back door.......lol Whoops!!!

Have you heard of anyone getting a fine for this?? What about all those cars running straight pipes that get defected?? If a cop is gonna pull you over and defect you, they only say "too loud", among other things, then you go put your car back to stock(cat included) and off to regency!

ive never seen or heard of a cop getting down and having a look if a car has a cat or not.

im not planning on running one when i get my exhaust

[Hillzy]

I've never heard of anyone getting done for it.

Maybe it's just a scare tactic? $10k is enough to keep my cat on... for now anyway.

Did you know cats only have a limited life span, after 5-10years they're useless.

[Nightcrawler]

mate I have a near new one (was fitted at compliance and taken off shortly thereafter) for $50

All the more reason to buy a brand new one....... BUT Andrews for $50 is a steal!!

no cat for me

[Hillzy]

Does your rear bar get stained Ryan?

[AFTDRK]

hey guys, thanks for the advice and thanks for the offer night crawler, but i already picked up a xforce cat off of Jack/BlueGTS last night..

also, just wondering, if i ask the exhaust shop doing my exhaust next week to make the cat back system but without a cat, would they do it ? or will they refuse

regards,

[Luke_ENR34]

they should do it no matter what. their getting paid so there happy.

where u getting your exhaust done?

[gtrkiet]

yea they will do it, they just dont dig out ur cat for you.. lol

[Madaz]

anyone ever wanting new cats see BOS Importing he's a trader on here so support our traders also.... and support Andrews drinking habit $50 is dirt cheap

[Ryanrb25]

Does your rear bar get stained Ryan?

yea a bit but i wash my car fairly regularly so i stay on top of it...

I think he said he's getting it done by Marky at ET(Top Choice) Just tell Mark you don't want it in there and bang he won't do it! You can pretty much drop your car off there and not say a word, and come out with a killa job!

hey guys, nah im getting it done at AAA Exhaust (down at richmond i think)

what are youre opnions on that shop, any good ?

also, you reckon they'll charge me extra for fitting another cat (that i will supply) at the same time as the cat back system ?

[Deluxe]

AAA are pretty good from what i've heard, I'm a loyal Marky fan, so AAA would be equal second best for me with D&T!

Not sure if they will charge you more, Maybe $20 for the extra little work, but in saying that they shouldn't! especially if they already quoted you on putting a cat in!

[Hillzy]

I got my previous car done at AAA, they did an absolutely top job!
