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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
