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.

I think this is about the cheapest you'll find one:

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?

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
