Couldnt decide between the 2. Catco seems to have a good reputation after my search but the X-Force one is stainless steel which I suppose is stronger? Catco's got the stainless stain version but its almost 400bucks for it (I'm not really keen on paying 400 for a cat). I know a cat is a cat but after hearing/reading post on people's melting kinda made me wanna seek some advise. Any suggestion? Oh they're both flanged which makes thing a lot easier for mounting. Thanks!

Depends on...

i) how long will you keep your car (& then a non-S/S may not matter)

ii) cfm rating of each cat (the higher the cfm the less restriction there is inside)

iii) how narrow the neck is before it meets the flange (the bigger the diameter the better)

iv) how rich your tune is (for the longevity of the cat)(some say that Jap is better than Chinese)

Officially the X-Force flows slightly more by way of CFM, but the Just Jap GTR make 330awkW with the Catco. I bought that exact Catco and the car is being tuned in a couple of weeks so I am no help from a customer's point of view right now!

Is that the cheaper Catco or the more expensive one? I'm actually thinking of getting the $180 bucks one since so many people recommended them.

The cheaper one. :P That's the one I have, for the same reason you are considering one. Also, for the same reason you didn't spend so much on a cat is why I ended up with this - I simply couldn't justify $400+!

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
