Who are SMB?

SMB

Check out the dump pipe, looks the goods to me.. Cat is $382, and fits up to the dump pipe.

I think a bit of custom pipework would be in order to join the cat to the factory BA pipework after the ( original ) cat, but would cost a couple hunge to do??

If I go anything, it will be this setup.

I would think it's better to spend $$ on a Cat than the broomstick, although the Broom-stick is probably good for testing the theory of increasing performance.

With roadside smog sniffers becoming more common you'd not want to get the fine for the gutting cat ($10K I believe), and while they may not throw the book at you for having an in-effective cat they can definately pick a de-cat/gutted job easy. Hell you can smell the difference!

They can't book you for what they "think" is a gutted cat. They demand that car be supplied for tested, in which you would obviously just put it back to stock for the test...

of course if they have a road side testing station, well then your just fecked...

I like the SMB setup was thinking of getting it myself, what I wanted was the dump pipe with 4 inch cat, then a 4 inch pipe split into dual 2.5 inch just before the Centre muffler, this way you retain the factory setup, and remove the most restrictive part, If you read on the system it goes to a single 3.5, then 3 inch system.

If you look at the post "cracking 400 Rwkw With Edit" his exhaust is stated as "SMB 4 inch dump + SMB 4 inch Cat + 2x 2.5 inch pipe then back to factory centre muffler and factory rear muffler. " which is pushing a sh*t load of power.

We should try and organize a group buy or kit from them to bring down the price

I'm all for it, and I emailed the guys to ask if they made a section for retaining the standard system, but they don't.. shame..

I had a similar conversation today and I was told that they had yet to getting around to maufacturing the section required to link the 4" cat to the stock pipe however planned to do so within the next 4 - 6 weeks.

I think that if enough of us show interest they would possibly produce whats required and perhaps even provide a package price for the Dump / CAT / flanged joiner.

Lets keep on them, I have another Exhaust guy who I emailed and he is making a similar system which will be ready in june I told him I wanted this type of setup. I will put a reminder in my outlook to email them in 4 weeks time

Umm, forgive my ignorance, but how would the $4 broomstick "hi-flow" the cat. I had a look at mine and you have to remove the whole exhaust from back of turbo to well after the exhaust splits into two. I was wondering how one would get around this, just out of interest of corse.
