ok ive been instructed by the people that tune my car that i need a better cat on my car ( really big and very high flowing) as the one i have now is restricting the power output.

before people start saying just gut the one i have now, NO! the car is already loud enough as it is and draws enough attention already and ive done it to a previous car and im not polishing the rear bar every single week.

ive had a little bit of a search but nothing really helped me out

im after what brands that are proven to be very effective and where can i buy them.

looking for something like a 5-6" body with 3.5-4" inlet and outlets

Thanks in advance

Chris, I'd suggest looking at something like the 5" body Catco Metal Cat.

With most of the big body cat's you will need to have them flanged to suit your current exhaust.

yeh i kinda figured that it would need to be a custom job which i dont mind. where bouts can you get these 5" body catco metal cats? any links to websites would be great

Try Just Jap, they may not stock the big ones (a lot of places don't) but they should be able to source the one you need from Catco.

Let me know how you go as I will be chasing one soon also.

Cheers.

Oh and standard xr6t cats usually get swapped out between 270 and 300rwkw. I wouldnt try to push much more through them.

I was recently quoted $340 for a naked (unflanged) 5" body ballistic CAT. I am going to mate these to 3.5" flanges

Refer to below link for flow results (having trouble inserting as hyperlink)

Love a good naked cat - $340.00 seems reasonable.

You can get 3 or 3.5" inlets and its a 5 inch body, they are unpolished but stainless steel. I'm a member on there so maybe thats why you can't see it but just email him at the address i listed or join the forum and the link above should work. Chris runs rapid systems, one of the xr6 forum sponsors and he usually gives pretty quick responses.

yeh i had a little bit of a look at these and they sound ok but everyone can claim what they want. what ever one i end up getting it has to be able to flow 450kw and above

so what cats are you selling on your forums? xr6 ones or these ballistic cats???

also the link for the ballistic ones has no contact info for them, only product info, where can you buys these from?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
