I run a high flow metal cat in mine, seems to do the job nicely.

That said with the old decat in it did pop some big flames,

And that's what the kids seem to want these days.

I've mad a couple for the lads at work for their cars when they go to the track. Personally I'd just have a full track exhaust and a street exhaust if track days were my thing!

I don't fancy the 5 figure EPA fine for not running one.

I have a cat + 2 f**koff big mufflers and it still pops flames.

Myth in SA. Never heard of anyone getting a fine for it in SA.

I run straight through a gutted cat and twin 4" blast pipes on an SR.

Annoying and loud.

Yep definitely a myth.

That said I'll happily make them for anyone, I won't fit them for people, that's their responsibility and their head on the chopping block.

My car pops flames with the metal cat for sure, but they were alot bigger with the old decat fitted.

Plus it does make a bit of difference to the note/sound of your car, the 2 lads at work with s14s def sound alot more tractor spec with the decat fitted.

Kind of a myth. You will only get the $10k fine if your a business.

The fine for an individual is only around the $500 mark; but since cats can die after 25,000 km's if your running overly rich and definitely will be on it's last legs after 80,000 they have a tough time proving that you knocked it out yourself. Decat though is hard to argue but you just say "what's a cat" and then claim it was on there when you bought the car. End of the day unless your caught with a crow bar in the cat your not getting fined.

Dave if your popping flames through your cat it's only a matter of time before you melt it, and then it'll either block up or break up and shoot out the back.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
