The hole in the Ozone layer covers most of the Antartic...

...if you gut your cat, the worldwide sea level will rise by 3.5m... killing 220,000,000 people, and displacing 100,000,000 households.

Removing the material inside your catalytic converter on the other hand...:rofl:

why dont u go to ur local exhaust shop and get them to make u a replacement pipe for the cat

remove the cat, install the new pipe and see the difference.

just dont get pulled over by rta or epa and if so hope to god they dont find the cat missing...........

or u could get an exhaust shop to make u up a fake cat ie.cat surround welded to a straight through pipe.

I dont know WHY i took a foto of it..

Bloody evil kitten it is

Oh right. I thought you had already removed the insides of your cat-converter... rhetorical question...

ohok.. true... i just felt like hitting something with a hammer.. if i got performance gains out of it 4 my car, then bonus...

I dont think i will worry about it then.. If i cant afford a high flow cat at the moment then i cant afford the fine.

Leave it alone, they get replaced as part of compliance so it won't be clogged up and causing a restriction.

If you gut it you won't get much gain as it won't flow very nice, also the car will be louder and and smelly.

yer i just saw the idea somewhere, i forget where tho.. I just thought i should ask some intellegent ppl b4 i got waving a hammer around..

So il just leave it be then..

But while we are on the topic of cats, do high flow cats improve flow much more then stock ones?

People usually refer to a $10k fine, never heard of it being issued though - so could be an urban myth. In any case, not worth tempting anyway. On many (modern) cars, removing or gutting the cat will only provide a very minimal increase. My car (the one I modify anyway) is not one of those, but it is also not a skyline.

And as noted, don't bother unless you can put up with the stench of fuel inside your car (not pleasant).

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
