Largest Body Cat To Fit In Standard Location?

[Harey]

I have recently been ripped off by a mechanic who switch out my metal hiflow cat for a standard one and then has since left the company GRRRR!!!#$%%$^%$

So I am in the market for a new 100 cell metal cat for my 3" turbo back exhaust. I am looking at the venom range and have been recommended them from some experienced members on this forum.

Feel free to recommend another brand.

I am looking at either:

3" inlet/outler with 4" body, $179 (no flanges)

3" inlet/outler with 4.5" body, says suitable for 300rwkw+, $210 (no flanges)

3" inlet/outler with 5" body, says suitable for 350rwkw+, $229 (no flanges)

I am happy to pay the $ for a 5" body just to ensure minimum restriction but I am worried about space so that I dont hit the floor or create too little ground clearance. They are a round shape.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

I'd be making the company pay up mate. That is theft.

Problem is I dont really have proof it was on there just before I took it in. The only other 2 shops I have taken the car to since I fitted the hiflow cat myself are very reputable and have proven themselves reliable to me. So I am pretty certain it was this mechanic but I dont have proof.

That's pretty rough Harey, the workshop does have a degree of responsibility though IF you can prove the cat was there.

And FWIW I run a 5" body metalcat on a 3.5" exhaust no probs clearance wise.

Yeah I couldnt believe it, how low is that. Prob thought I wouldnt know the difference, but instead I fitted this myself.

I am sure it was there beforehand and I am going back to see how I go.

Thanks for the info regarding the 5" body metal cat, I just ordered one to replace it. Hopefully, this workshop will pay for it.
