Sorry I meant X-Force, that special JJR had on the SAU forum around 1 year ago.

Ah, thought as much ;)

I believe you will find the Catco cats to be far superior to the X-Force ones as far as quality is concerned.

i bought my catco hi flow one off a group buy here a while back and it looks nothing like the pic previously posted, no heatshield housing just a big ass shiny metal buldge. So I'm not sure if you guys are looking at a lower flow rate catco one. the flow rate of my one from memory is higher than the JJ catco one, and it costed more too.

Thats because the one you bought would have been a Catco Metal Cat, which looks like this:

The Catco 3" Ceramic Cat flows 428 CFM ($175.00) and the Catco Metal Cat flows 706 CFM ($440.00)

my car keeps converting cats to Cadbury Flake's... Crumbles to pieces :blink: I hope this one lasts longer then the old one, i cannot keep replacing them like this!!

The last one was non existant inside, the one before that was in a million pieces and was blocked.

I only use them to keep defects away, when i race the car i run de-cat pipes. if your cat is destroyed and exits out the exaust pipe do you still cop the fine?

Guys, I can confirm this cat passes emissions.

I was tested and passed with half the maximum CO2 levels required by laws. I would recommend this cat if your wanting to pass emissions and didn't notice a loss of power either.

If i were to go another cat I'd definitely go metal cat purely cause I'm sick of normal and high flow cars blocking up (had this happen on both cars of mine). The ceramic high flows all seem to be much of a muchance - they all look quite similar as well!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
