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).

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
