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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
