Ilegal. Not to mention the HUGE fines the EPA can sting you with.

If you want a loud exhaust get a 3.5" cat back.

I realise it's ILLEGAL...

I'm not looking for loud. I'm looking for un restricted flow.

I will be gettin a 3" split dump pipe and already have a 3" cat back system

Okiday...

Well fanx for da advice.

the stock cat wont cause a HUGE restriction if its in good nick, but if its 100k+ km old then they can become clogged or colasped and then they cause big problems. Most of the time a hiflow cat is more than enough, but if your short on cash heres what you do....

Dont rip the cat out and just smash the guts out, this will make the car sound like crap, if you look how the cat is on the inside you'll see why. Take the cat out, smash the guts out with a pipe and hammer then take it to a dodgy exhaust shop and get them to press in some pipe the same inlet and outlet diameter of the cat. This way the cat will flow as good as a straight piece of pipe, and most people wont have a clue that its been gutted cause it still looks like a cat.

I use to have no cat and only one muffler in my 3SGTE celica and it passed emisson tests...

*i dont condone gutting cuts, i run a cat with all my cars now :happy:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
