Quality of Catco Cats?

[inertia]

Metalcat? Importbitz (forum sponsor) carries them.

As for the fittings, how would you guys make them?

A threaded fitting, then drill out a hole in a shortened bolt, weld a small piece of pipe to the hollowed-bolt for attachement to a pressure gauge?

[oldcorollas]

would be good to have a bit of a longer pipe possible.. to cut down a bit on heat.
silicon is good for maybe 400deg, but no higher.

a short bit of pipe, with a small flange on it.. and then bolting on another section with an insulating gasket, might healp to cut down on heat transfer up the pipe.

Can you fit twin 2.5" or 2.25" cats?

[Ghetto-AW11]

ie re do the exhaust into a twin system? I suppose i could, but the thing is it now follows the stock path and gives maximum ground clearance which is what i want.

[CrUZida]

Not so much a whole twin system, just twin cats.

[Ghetto-AW11]

Yeah i suppose thats possible. I have got to think weather i go another catco 3 inch and run them in parralell or just one big metal cat.

Try one of catco's metal cats. They seem to flow really well, lets the 1jz hit boost cut with more than 75% throttle....
I have their 3.5 inch jobbie and its "sposed" to flow up in the 800cfm range, thats more than 200cfm better than metal and magic cats flowrates.

Yes they are pricey but i think they are worth it and as i said before they are quite small and would fit the aw11 nicely

Something like that officer Doofy? I picked it up tonight.

[Officer Doofy]

Yep thats the one, look forward to hearing what you think of them.
Any chance you can get it back on a dyno and compare it to your without cat results.?

[Ghetto-AW11]

It will be going back on the dyno, and tuned to suit. Yay for bending over and getting dicked for the sake of power !

[Officer Doofy]

lol really, can i ask what $$$ you picked it up for?

[Ghetto-AW11]

Ballpark 300-600$

[Officer Doofy]

So Ghetto did you ever get the cat installed? And any results from the second dyno run?

[Ghetto-AW11]

Yeah, it was an improvement, 14rwkw over the standard catco cat. But 15kw down on running no cat at all.
