does anyone know how much one would cost from mitsubishi? and how much would a universal one cost unfitted from a exhaust place? a mechanic i went to quoted 330 bucks to replace, and 280 from an exhaust centre both fitted. so woo hoo how happy am i. i just picked up a brand new redback cat for 100 bucks!!!

They are around 250 for a high flow and there isn't any reason why you can't do it yourself, its a basic job.

just remove it and put a straight pipe replacement

it's a free power improvement

and forget about Captain Planet

Yeah, do that. :doubt: Just remember who sent the post. You have an address where we can find you ARUN??? :clap: :clap:

If you hollow out the Cat, does it make the system much louder??

Not at all... but it smells for a while...

Anyone using a hollowed out cat or straight through pipe ??

Just interested in effects on the car.

Does it still run right ??

Does it blow smoke ??

Are there any power improvements ??

I did this on my last car (modified Skyline) and found that it stunk, didnt really gain much power, played havic with the standard computer and made the exhaust sound terrible.

Maybe naturally aspirated cars are different but is there really an advantage to be had to doing it on a Magna ??

Well, a Ralliart in particular ??

Replaced mine some months ago, from Moorebank Mitsu, some 190 bux. Bolt out, bolt in.
The only trouble I had was with the pin bolts which did not come off from the old Cat, no matter how much I WD40'd it and double-nutted it. So, had to got to local corner HWare to get couple of new bolts for few bux - instead of buying them from Mitsu for 14 bux ea.
I wouldn't use any other than proper Cats - Radar Operators do check emissions too, with RTA on the roads....

i'm currently using 2.5" staright ...it does give me a little more power when i get into my thrid gear....and it give a little more high end...but obviously it's a little louder....as i didnt install the resonator...

that's the way.......aha aha........ I like it...... :D

It will not enhance the performance any more than the money spent getting a roadworhty from the EPA afterwards could cost you, including sending the car to Alice springs and getting Dallas to fit Booyas Turbo to it. Infact you may have change left over after the turbo conversion lol
