i recently upgraded my exhaust to a 4in cat back system and a hi flow cat. anyway there are two cables running under the car and connect to the stock cat. does anyone know what these cables are for. because the new hi flow cat has no hole for one of the cables to connect to.. i think the cable is for exhaust temps..

sort of looks like a cable with a spark plug connected to the stock cat?? anyone know if its important..if you need to have it on?

My Bad..What was i thinking...Sorry for the confusion guys, Im not all there today...HEY ITS A FRIDAY!

You CAN live without it, but if your CAT gets blocked, the only way you'll know is when you cant breath cuase the fumes will intoxicate your car.....This happend to a supra we just picked up from the docks 3 weeks ago, i nearly threw up in the damn car. I would Strongly reccommend this be plugged in, Also, if your CAT gets blocked, your Gas/Temp sensor will realise there is not an even flow of air/fumes going through the exhaust and your ecu will switch your Engine warning llight on to tell you theres a problem.

Its there for a reason, So USE IT....

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
