What Is This Cat?

[benl1981]

Is this cat a nissan or compliance? I hear the compliance ones can be poor for flow..

thanks

well unless it was complied a long time ago i would say nissan.

i have a cat on my car that was fitted about 6 years ago and it still looks new, which is why i think that would be the original one since it looks old.

Looks 'old' to me.... Ive got a 9month old 'compliance' catalytic converter ($50 + postage if you want it!!) which really does look brand spanking new.

Hard to say, wish now that I'd got the big body cat-converter (from BATMBL) rather than the small body.

But Id say it was worth it, the standard comliance cat looks to be around 2inch diameter, whilst the one Ive just bought is a 3inch diameter, and that tied up well with the new 3inch stainless dump pipe and the old 3inch cat-back system.

See my signature below to see final power output. Got a few more bolt-ons to go on soon, so will have it all retuned. At the end of the day, I'd suggest the hiflow is less restrictive (flowing a larger area) than a standard cat converter....

Turns out mine was a 2.6" - not really that bad - has 11/02 on it so I guess it is only approx 3 years old.

I fput the high flow cat on (3") - Don't expect much gain because I could see through both of them nicely...

Yeah, mine was a 2.5inch and 1yr old, but was never expecting a huge gain.... just a slight decrease in restriction.

Yeah.... i got a new one too....

Ripped it out after complience and fitted a full 3" system....
