I was told my stao I need a high flowing cat. What should I get? Xforce 100cell metal cat? Catco ceramic high flow? Who has a metal cat and what did it cost. I would gut my cat and weld a pipe in there but I'm abit iffy about that. I'm in nsw and was quoted 320 for the metal xforce but I heard bad things.

Are these tested and tried brands? I've looked through alot on ebay and they all seem generic with a brand stamped on them. Venom stands out as it is tested and street legal which the others mention nothing of. I'm going to ditch the xforce because apparently they too are chinese untested, illegal stuff. 5" body sounds tasty too.

I have the venom sitting in the garage if you want to have look before buying. I can take it to work which is closer to your place if it helps.

It has much better materials, welding etc than my last one that is rattling itself to death. Ceramic biscuit fail on the old one.

He can do 3.5" flanges. He has bolt on kits suitable for most cars ready to go. Mine is already in post and I payed 12am this morning!

I asked him about the egt sensor port he said they don't come with them but they can be modded to suit. He didn't mention if he does it, nor did I ask. If I wanted it, I would just get a high tensile thick nut, same thread as the sensor, drill a hole in the end of the cat then weld it ontop. Wouldn't be hard. Then again, my old r33 did not even run the temp sensor.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
