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?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
