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).

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
