All cats are going to cause a restriction, it's just how much. OK, so I am the only one with some data. I'm giving it a go. My cat has been on for 80,000km and is ceramic so I might as well replace it now.

Another bonus is it will make the exhaust sound a bit deeper and louder, and mine is fairly quiet now.

Hopefully I can get a bolt-on from Sureflo.

I swapped my stock cat for a hiflow LOBOKKA (ebay) metal cat with 100cpsi, difference was barely noticeable except in mid-top but even so its bugger all.. Already had a full 3" system from turbo (but dump is stock :( ), 12psi boost, FMIC, Nistune ecu, Walbro fuel pump etc.. The cat made stuff all difference in my ride, maybe my exhaust system wasnt bad to begin with..

stock dump and stock turbo?, I wouldn't expect you'd notice too much with a 3 or 4% increase anyway. It's worth about 1psi in power if you are running 1bar.

Beast of a cat. Running 300awkw, no end in sight. Bit costly but you get what you pay for.

I usually say that too but f**k is it lined with gold or something? That's a bit excessive for a cat!

Agreed.

Its definitely very illegal to have it straight through- does anyone know the penalty involved? Rumor is its a pretty damn nasty fine.

My cat is just an xforce 3' high flow job, heard they arent the best but my 33gtst is pretty stock- aiming for 200rwkw so it should cover that.

lol good thing about being in tassy. ive had my car registered for 2 years with an open 3.5 " side pipe from turbo.

been pulled over by the cops plently of times. they dont know what a cat convertor is/does so they dont look for it.

my exhaust exits after the last door so they dont care its a side pipe.

they fail to realise its on the passenger side ( illegal as it points towards footpath)

they have no tools or ways to measure dB levels.

they usually tell me to go home and put a number plate on it or to just take it home its too loud.

the orange wheels and stickers are a pretty good give away it should be at the track. but on the other hand i dont drive it in the cbd because i know the noise would just be unnessarcery. i dont hoon about in it. and im polite and helpful to police and explain im on the way to a worshop or to load car onto trailer... we have it pretty good down here as long as your not a tool

sorry about the rant lol... and if Mr tassy policemans aare reading this... :thanks::cheers:

sell the unused cat you have, find a 3 inch inlet/outlet used or f**ked cat.... bash the guts of it out and run it like that.

if the cops where you live are not likely to even look for a cat then put a decat pipe in perhaps

Haha, thats a killer set up to run on the street, That sort of set up would land you a defect very quick smart where i live (sux for me!)

I second what you said about the cops though, i have only had good experiences with them. If you dont act like a smart ass and be as honest as necessary they seem to treat you with respect- I know over the years they have let me off for tons of things that i should have been fined/lost license for.

Agreed.

Interesting, I didn't know you could poison a cat from simply running a rich mixture. Keep in mind any decent cat manufacturer will know their cats will be used in a rich environment.

I thought cats were killed from phosphorous, lead, manganese, silicone, etc. You'll only introduce these things into the exhaust stream if your engine isn't healthy or are using certain additives or leaded fuel. I don't know about E85 though.

200cell is the most high flowing "legal" cat you can really go.

if you want to start going illegal go 100cell.

but in all honesty, most people wont make enough power for a 200cell cat to ever become a restriction!

I usually say that too but f**k is it lined with gold or something? That's a bit excessive for a cat!

Almost - Platinum and other rare materials. The value of platinum is so high that there are stories of people stealing cats from cars overnight etc, for the rare metals inside to sell. So almost lined with gold yeah. :D

think my cat has been 'poisoned', cars been running rich for a while and constantly does small backfires when changing gears and slowing down under engine braking and and is not as responsive as it should be :unsure: , gunna put one of those ceramic catco cats in as not running or ever going to run big power.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
