I'm basically going to install a cat. converter pretty soon, because the header noise is driving me nuts. But I thought I would ask anyways.

Basically I'm running an alpine setup with Next Gen stage2 (upper 2.75 pulley, lower 6.5 and other mods... OBX headers, Borla catback, AEM CAI, FPR, Walbro pump, 290's).... I am NOT running a cat. converter on my setup. The power is pretty good, but the sound is horrible. Well, it's not that horrible but maybe I'm growing old and don't want it to sound that loud.

What would the average difference be in whp when I install a Magnaflow cat. converter? I imagine it will be around 5whp less, but compared to the noise it would be worth it. Looking for feedback from people who have gone from catless to cat or from cat to cutless... just to have an overview of what to expect.


Oh yea.... I'm getting :3_marrysm in a couple of hours :3_puh2:

I don't think a hi-flo converter would be even that restrictive. I like the small cat that came with my hotshots because it's just enough to tell the secondary sensors the emissions are cleaner coming out if only slightly, so no cel's. I've found the the resonator muffles the sound more than a cat.

I would love to remove the cat from my car. I got the hotshots headers with the high flow cat. I would havealready taken it out but these damn 04's are so finicky with the O2 sensors. If I had to guess I would say a cat is worth between 10-15whp especially when you are boosted.

WTF-shouldn't you be getting prepared for the wedding and not worrying about your car, you know your addicted to NT when........

see i just dont understand this.. I have an 04 with SSA all the way back, no cats or anything, and i have never had a CEL from my O2's goin off. Maybe im just lucky?

Congrat. Jova Ricky me indico que la diferencia debe ser mas o menos esa cantidad.

what kind of simulater you running ?
I NEED TO KNOW :m_BangHea

I have a 04 and dont have any cats...

 

[zeenon53]

So what are you 04 guys doing if you don't have cats?

 

[jovanie]

thanks guys for the congrats.

I also have an 04 without any cel nor cat. I just welded the secondaries very far down on the Borla... about a feet before the resonator.

Stop fking up our air dudes. Run the fking cat, your children's children will thank you. 1-2hp (if any) ain't worth it.

 

[DarkSouledSRT]

Put on a cat, that is unless you like breathing in carcinogens. I myself have no cat, but thats because I'm making the srt into a race-spec car. For most of you boosted folks, the tib is your daily driver with some exra power. Mine is a daily driver/track spec, so I have interchangeable flanged test pipe/hi flow cat. Right now I'm flanged with the test pipe, but only cuz I'm too lazy to change it out. But definitely get a cat

When your F/I its about 5 - 10whp...

Hay por favor :3_saai:

A 3 inch magnaflow cat on a 3 inch exhaust robbing 5-10hp? Did you come up with that figure off the top of your head or do you have a dyno sheet to prove that?
