hey dude, i have a full xforce 3.5" system from just jap. all stainless steel. very good and im very happy, but just be carefull with the volume. i think im over the legal limit...

as for size the 3.5" has a bigger resonator which i think keeps the volume lower plus the bigger set is better if your gonna go for bigger power figures later down the track...

I have a 3" with the bigger resonator.

Is very quiet lol, no way that its over. After putting it on i was actually wondering if i had remembered to take all the stuffing out of the pipe sections lol.

Great performance upgrade tho, spools much nicer now, and JJR do great prices on them. I was quoted $600 extra by the so called "wa supplier" of these than just jap.

So you pretty much cant go wrong with either but given the choice, go the 3.5 from the cat back with the oval resonator. U will have no troubles.

But just so you know they do hang kinda low.

Cheers,

Dragonforce

Hey thanks for the replies,

I dont think i explained it properly. Im gonna get a full 3" exhaust, im not getting a 3.5" at all but what i wanted to know is with the 3" exhaust what would suit it better... A 3" cat or 3.5"cat both are for a 3"exhaust?

Nismoid knows what im talking about.

Just asking cause you get an option with which one you want.

Thanks again guys

I have the full 3" xforce system on my 33. Its satasfyingly loud without being offensive. Ive had a cop ask me to rev my car while he stood behind it and didn't get a defect. Doesn't mean its not over I know but it helps.

Anyway the 3" system is fairly well price, and yes I would think the 3.5" cat with it, even if it did fit fine, would be kind of.....pointless.

A cat is more restrictive then an open pipe yes? So a 3.5" cat flared out to a 3" system, will still clearly flow more then a 3" cat with 3" sys... ;S

By how much, and is it worth the cost, who knows. In a fortnight or two im using a 5" cat with a 4" system.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
