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 Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
