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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • 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.
