haha, yeh i have heard about cheap ones on ebay, but after the whole GTDNO thing i went through on here i would rather buy one from someone legit...I heard of some available from somewhere in Redcliffe for like $180, but dunno the name of the joint. Any help would be kool, if we can we might organise a group buy.

$170 each and you can have as many as you like

3" high flow

Brand: Carsound.

Have been running 18psi and lots of hard time on this one for 2.5 years now and is still good.

My car runs rich as a muther and it is still ok

I work at Midas Woolloongabba but am currently filling in for someone at our Capalaba store.

And then you can have it fitted also.

Depending on the car and setup...fitting won't be more than $80

Step One, remove cat from system.

Step two, stand cat north south over a drain.

Step three, using a hammer and screw driver, belt away at the honeycomb looking filling.

Step four, continue belting away until said honeycomb is all in the drain.

Step five, re-attach cat to system.

I did this on my secret track car, as its illegal to not run a cat on poublic roads.

Problem with a 2nd hand one is that the internals of the cat will be demolished by now

They should only be keeping good cats at most of the wreckers anyway. You can still get a secondhand good one if you look, just like buying a turbo. I did the same for an engine conversion about 6 years back and both are still going well. A cat can last for a long time as long as it is operated properly in the car it came from (correct fuel mixture, temperature.)

You forgot Step 6. Get pulled over by transport inspectors who tell you your cat is hollow because of the poisonous gases bellowing out the back

and Step 7. Get fined up to $5000 depending on how 'aware' you were that it was hollow.

But what if there is no cat there? You can't be aware of a hollow cat if you don't have a cat now can you :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
