Cat Replacement With Edit?

[The NUT]

Hey guys,

I have been around today getting a few quotes and ideas from some of the performance shops here in Townsville. The tuning shop which I am going with advised me to do the edit and a cold air intake as my base mods but definitely do not touch the exhaust unless I am also intending to do the injectors and fuel pump.

After reading so much on this forum about how restrictive the stock cats are I really want to put a high flow cat in also with the above package. My question is - with an edit, custom tune and a cold air intake, will a high flow cat have a beneficial or detrimental affect on the cars performance?

Cheers

I think what they would mean is, it does not need the exhaust done unless you put injectors and fuel pump, you can get 240-250rwks without touching the exhaust, although there will be a gain still if you put a good cat in it.

in north queensland I would change to a wog intercooler well before I done much to the exhaust, our temps up here, realy push the limits of the standed cooler without mods, but when you lift the boost the intake temp go through the roof.

I will be at the drags in townsville on the weekend if you want to have a chat.

that's what I figured, just wondering how much difference it may make? or am I better off sticking to the standard exhaust and saving the money for other mods?

id meet with him at the drag and use him for your custom tune as he is the best I know of in qld for the edit!!!!

get the restrictor removed and remove excess tubing at the cat and it will be awsome but you will need boost control done to!!!

in my veiw, once all boost and that has been set back to the same level, the good flowing cat on the standed exhaust, is worth about 5-10kws, so if the money is burnning a hole, (it will drop exhaust temps a bit to.)
