majority of aftermarket cats are not EPA compliant, go do an emissions test and watch the NOx go through the roof!

might as well just gut the cat, hi flow vs no cat, you're going to be raped by emissions anyways if you get done

If you gut the cat, you quite often get rear bar discoloration, mainly on white and silver cars i think.

How do the catco cats compare to others?

Hey man, im thinking about one of these cats; i knwo yours is performing well but have you heard any horror stories with their half-life? collapsing after a hard drive or a few thousand kms etc

I know that i will never be on a track or driving hard, any advice for me man or anyone else wanna chime in?

also if you dont mind me asking, how much would one set you back?

Inside ceramic cats, the ceramic castrate have been known to collaspe (due to misfiring/knocking or shook apart due to vibration I cant remember), metal cats the castrate is welded to the body so its less likely to collaspe.

I've called Repco (its listed on the website that their a distributor) to check the price out a few weeks ago and from memory they're worth around 400 or more.

Sounds better as my car does run a bit rich for safety as im sure most guys who have their car tuned. Thanks for the info, ill check out their site n do some research n maybe post it back here.

400 sound ok i guess, im sure their are some traders who could get them at a better price; this seems like my best bet. Thanks

cant go past CES. australian owned and manufactured, and of a very high quality.

A few of my friends have parts from CES, fantastic quality but their prices and customer service leaves something to be desired; that to say in their cases

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
