Ok just having a read...

Can someone clear a couple things up for me....

CPSI = cells.... so 100, 200 or 400. 100 flows alot more then the 400? correct?

I have a 3inch front pipe and a 3inch titanium cat back. so for best flow for mine a 4inch cat with 3 inch flanges, with 100 cells is the way to go?

CPSI, cells per square inch.

400 CPSI, means for every square inch, there is 400 cells. Which means for every square inch, air has to flow through those 400 cells. On the other hand 100 CPSI, for every square inch there will only be 100 cells. 400 CPSI will have tiny little cells which is where the restriction will be, 100 CPSI will have cells that are 4x bigger in size than a 400 cell cat. Picture it like 400 CPSI cat breathing through a straw, and 100 CPSI cat breathing through a garden hose.

Correct about the cells, obviously the less cells there are, the bigger each cell will be so the more the cat will flow. With regards to the size, you want to go with the biggest body you can, whilst making sure that the inlets and outlets are the same size if not slightly bigger than the rest of the exhaust, ie. If your 3" front/cat-backs are 77-78mm, you don't want a cat that has 76mm inlet/outlets. But if your front/cat-backs are 76mm then a cat with 77-78mm inlet/outlets would be perfect.

As Wolverine said, get a Venom cat. I'm using one and my car only made 5rwhp more when run without any exhaust, so it flows well and they aren't expensive http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-VENOM-High-Flow-Metal-Cat-WRX-XR6-Turbo-Skyline-VL-/250768882992?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a62fd7d30

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
