I manage a metallurgy laboratory.

If someone can arrange for sample of the substrate (a gram is plenty), I'll have an analysis back within 24 hours as to whether it contains any platinum group metals (Pt, Pd, etc) or indeed anything other than what's in a normal s/steel alloy.

Cheers

BOOSTD,

the 'metal cats' are good cats. we've tested those and they came up with good results on emissions, just like they clearly state.

the difference between the metal cat and this new catco cat is the body. the metal cat is quite small, i think its the same body size as the magic cat (4"), whereas the catco one is larger (5") and can pass through more exhaust gas than those. both have 200 cell pr sq inch catalysts, whereas magic cat has 300 cell per sq inch. this just means that the metal cat and catco cat have larger holes, thus being able to let through more exhuast gas than the magic cat.

either way though, the metal cat doesnt need cone reducers, as it already has them, like the catco cat, with 3" piping at the ends. the magic cat however needs all those extra bits (cone reducers, 3" piping) welded on, as its just a 4" pipe, this adds up, and because its not done by a machine, it would probably be quite rough in the end, depending on the skills of the person doing it for you at the exhaust shop...

keep a look out in the next issues in different magazines (e.g fast fours, HPI etc), you will notice hi-tech mufflers, liverpool exhaust and a few other well known exhaust shops advertise the new catco cats. i know hi-tech have been doing some dyno tests on the WRX with some very interesting dyno results.

HAHAHAHAHAHH this is funny!

How many people have bought cats that are just a fancy straight through pipe?

You got ripped off guys :P

Must... not... feed... the... troll.....

You have evidence its just a straight through pipe? Post it up. Or is this just going to be like your tirade against import agents?

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
