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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
