I just came back from the dyno and my GTR did a nice 260 whp at 12 psi with GT-SS ( sarcasm :ph34r: ). My tuner said I NEED to change my cat, we found some piece of the cat on the ground it's really block.

What are my option !? I don't want some cravy 600$ sard or nismo cat. I want to keep the oem look. So, I was thinking about buying a high-flow cat and weld the heat shield on it so I can keep that oem-look.

What do you guys think?

Why do you want to weld the heat shield onto a hi flow cat? Its not like there illegal, people only weld the stock heatshield on when there using a stright pipe to make it look stock.

Hey Cobraa,

If you have a look on Ebay, there are a couple of cats, the main one manufactured by a workshop in western australia that are reasonably cheap $200 - $230 in 4 or 5".

They use 100cpi metal matrix if i remmember correctly and these should flow sufficiently for your GT-SS's and at that price if your really chasing the power you can probably afford to knock the internals out for use on the track :D

I'm after one too

AFter researching Just Jap have the most resonable stock.

Catco/Xforce $175 each bolt on.

450+CFM. $370 for the 700CFM.

I'm probably gonna get the xforce $175 one

*edit btw Catco ones COME with the heatshield.

*edit again, there was a dyno done somewhere, hiflow vs testpipe. No HP difference. Obviously crap cat vs highflow/test pipe would be obvious. So just stick with Hi flow for legality purposes.

There was a test done. Something stupidly low

lame! makes me want to remove mine again, but right now it's the only thing holding back the annoying drone at 2000rpm

X-Force 3" Stainless High Flow Cat

it flows up to 570 cfm...

anyone know what a stock cat would flow roughly?

I got one of these on my r32 gtr making 205awkw @ 6000rpm with just exhaust, pods and 14psi. Seems to do the job good for the price!

I would also like to know this!

My muffler shop told me about magnaflow cat.. but that 175$ catco seems right too. Don't know which one flow better.

Have a look at that bad boy.

Straight pipes all the way mate

I actually run a high flow catalytic converter business, which drastically increases the flow through the unit whilst retaining the standard shell :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
