Hey guys,

Can you have a look a these photos for me?

Looks like it might not be a hig flow cat but i would have no idea.

The rest is 3 inch as in front/dump and cat back.

So if this isn't, i would like to get rid of the bottle neck.

Will i notice much difference?

Should be able to get one off ebay for $160 i hope.

Yibeda yibeda !

Hi Birnie

Doesn't look like it, but very hgard to tell from the outside!! take it off and whild looking through it, hold it up to the light, if you can see the light throgh the mesh, then it may be a high flow. I put a magnaflow in mine and they usually retail for ~ $400, I got it through a mate in the trade for $150.

I'd be careful of the $160 'high flow' cats - if the are the generic type, forget it! save the money and get one that has actual flow figures provided for it.

On the issue of liberating a few ponies, when I imported my car it had a full 3.5 inch system, no cat or mufflers, this is the only way to improve exhaust flow - but not legal :cheers:

noticed a drop in performance when I fitted the legal system - also slower to come onto boost.

i got one (including front/dump) for my 34 from BATMBL. Have fitted or driven the car yet :P but how'd you find the car after fitting the new cat?

cheers.

i fitted his 3" front/dump also,

already had a 3" catback

it does the job, i dont really see the differences in all these cats, they all 3"

some are larger voloume. thats all

why pay $500 for 1kw difference?

A friend has a ballistic s/charged rodeo ute and has upgraded to some magic cats ( twin exhaust).

They are not fitted yet but the workshop is going to do a before and after with the old high flows first and then whack on the magic cats to see if they are all they are cracked up to be.

I will post results when its done.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
