What's the best brand of high flow cat?

[weeaazz]

with the all-flow cat,would it make my car backfire or anything,does it change the sound much??

 

[bradc]

It won't make the car backfire, and the sound will be a bit louder and deeper

You've got my interest Ivan...

You know what would be good? If you could find a flow rate comparison between different brands...

Hi, There isn't much flow rate to compare, just the AMOUNT of Cells per sq. inch as well as BODY DIAMETER.

Less CPI the better but the CEL may come on! (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT)

Tried Catco on volvo, and the CEL came on after a week!!!

We use our MetalCat on many evo 7/8/9 on ADM and only 2 out of the 10 so far had the CEL, and solved by using a spacer to make the pickup more remote.

Cheers, ivan

you don't need a cat at all on a VR-4, the warning lights will never come on

whats wrong with just gutting out the standard one

 

[Guest]

the piping on the standars one is still too small if you have a 3 inch system but it does help

 

[bradc]

Don't the aussie compliance places put on a cheap crappy one with bad flow?

This is the one the import shop put on mine, on their site they have absolutely no info about it apart from this picture...

Is it stainless steel? and do you have any pictures? or even better a link to where to buy them

 

[naughtika]

Jarrad, sorry but it was a once off transaction.. bought it from SAU.. a fella bought it then didnt want it..

its mild steel only though.. but for the price I can't really complain..

 

[Guest]

I bought this one HERE. It does says "Race Applications" only, but I figured some sort of cat was better than no cat. May not be the best, but it says it flow wells (525cfm) and at 1/3 the price of a Catco/MetalCat, I'm not arguing.

 

[Guest]

Anybody know how much other brands with similar specs go for?

EDIT: Wow.. old thread is old.

 

[Bennoz]

About to wack an Xforce metal cat in mine. Was $290

Hmm I have been considering a high flow cat, mostly for a more notable sound, which is kinda toolish but our Leggys are soo quiet!

Any up to date info would be great on cost and recommended bolt on brands.

Does anyone notice any change in performance with these?
