cats can be expensive, fail for no reason, some high flows can let out some off smells, plus its just another thing that could cause hastles

dont gut the factory cat, will sound shitty. Replace it with a bare pipe, or if you want it to look real, weld a pipe in a stock cat (cut the ends off, put pipe through, weld flanges), personally though, i wouldnt bother.

i've never heard of anyone havning any problems , its not really policed in tas, as all cats are for is to eliminate smog in cities, we dont really have a problem (thus why legal in nz).

the fines arent as bad as people think they are, the mega fines are for buisinesses doing it, and police arent expected to know what cars need and dont need cats and what they look like (could put a small hotdog in its place) most likely you'd get a defect, just put one in and get it ticked off imo.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
