Do u mean straight through pipe 'thru' the cat, IE the cat has nothing in it?

The main effect is a $10k fine from the EPA, and a couple of extra rwkw

Having said that I just put a lovely straight thru side exit pipe on my gtr and it sounds *mean*.  Not to mention some hge flamage :)

yeah, straight pipe instead of cat, then out the bottom of the passenger door, 3" straight thru. Not the thing for a street car tho :)

But seriously DVS33T, its a big risk to take, just run NOS instead if you want some easy power.

hi, ive just been personally witnessing the effects of cat removal. It results in noticeable increase in spool time and the engine feels free-er (this is even after using a highflow cat). The amount of rwkw gained depends mainly on the amount of exhaust flow. If your nearly stock then it wont make much more power, but if your running up around 1.2 bar then you could see up to 10rwkw with tuning. It wont damage the engine. If you have a tuned aftermarket ecu it shouldnt flame or pop either. This is seen more with the stock ecus that run rich. Striaght thru pipe is simply a pipe with flanges on it that bolts in place of the cat, making a fully straight thru system.

How exacly do you get your cat taken out?

Will exhaust places, like CES do it?

Seeing its illegal?

It would only be for track.. ofcourse

And seriously, how often do you, or you hear of someone getting pulled over and cops checking to see if you/they have a cat or not?

Like I said its a race car not a road car so the cops seem ok with it :) No body changes so it is a little low (hangs 3" below the chasis rail)

Seriously tho, why run without a cat on the road. If you did get caught I think that fine would hurt.

As for side exit pipe on a road car theres a thread here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...light=side+pipe

    • 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.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
