just jap sell these. buy it through them on here, you'll get a good price.

i had one of these. they are ceramic inside. good price, average performance. they dont compare to a proper stainless internal high flow.

in my old r33 gtst and 32 gtr i cut the sensors off cause i couldnt get it out of the stock cat lol.

causes no damage if thats what your asking.

the way i see it (since they werent built track/race cars), i dont need a sensor to tell me my exhaust is hot lol

mmm my exhaust sensor wire got cut a while ago, the light in the dash came up and the check engine light eventually came up too. I've heard it doesnt affect anything but the lights in the dash annoy me and i want to get it fixed.

I'm hoping i just need the wires soldered together.

that isn't xforces high flow model, tho it does flow pretty good. it is a ceramic core

there is a higher flow metallic item, which flows upwards and over 800cfm depending on size

I was very dissapointed in mine, going from a gutted cat to this, because I have a white car and the carbon monoxide that normally gets filtered by the cat was turning my rear bar yellow that I had to keep cleaning off...

I used it for 20 mins, car was jerky and laggy, now have it sitting in my room... Im going to spend the cash and get a proper high flow metal cat....

It does well for me. Very noticable upgrade over a standand cat (which i had on with my turbo upgrade)

I was looking for a metal cat but wanted one bolt on and couldnt find one, so i went with the Xforce, and it still did me well :) A lot less lag and generally more power throughout the whole rev range

how can you tell if it's a metal cat? stainless steel exterior?

metal cat, the brand?

or just a metallic cat in general?

a metallic cat has a metallic core inside, instead of ceramic.

looks something like this

I just upgraded my exhaust to an xforce system... noticable difference over stock lol... as for cat i havent used a metal cat so have nothing to compare it too.

Although the temp sensor didn't fit into the cat!!!! I had to take it to a chop shop for them to drill out the stainless steel hole a little wider then it screwed in nicley lol.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
