should i run a high flow cat?

**fkford** · 22-02-2010, 12:17 PM

hey all,

Iv got a VS ecotec which is relatively stock with CAI, tune and catback. I recently bought lukey extractors and a high flow cat second hand and i am just wondering as to wether i should run the high flow cat or not when i install my extractors. Iv been told you should only run a high flow cat on fairly modified cars?

in a nut shell, should i run a high flow cat or just leave the stock one on? cheers

Well if you have it then why not install it? It certainly won't have any negative effects, unless its been dented/damaged in any way.

**neet_wagon** · 22-02-2010, 12:35 PM

Just stick it on.
I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one for a mildly modified car though

**fkford** · 22-02-2010, 03:17 PM

mm ok, so i wont loose to much back pressure resulting in it being slower? thats what iv been told...

You will be fine. You got it so why not use it.

Correct me if I'm wrong someone but I swore I saw Not an Abba Fan say in a previous post in another thread that a higher flow cat on a V6 is very unecessary and doesn't help performance or sound. I thought it might negatively affect it.

Thats all my memory can serve...

Hopefully Not An Abba Fan can expand or tell me if I'm daydreaming....

i got a highflow on mine and i did notice better response and bit more sound, thats with nearly every bolt on mod you can get tho

Yep, sounds like a REAL legit roadworthy you had done there.

Don't try and tell us it was either, even if he meant to legitimately do your roadworthy, your mechanic or whoever did it obviously shouldn't even own a toolbox. Any DECENT mechanic who does a roadworthy needs to look at the exhaust, listen etc.

If QLD's version of Vicroads whatever that may be, or the cops find it etc, your mechanic or whoever did the RWC could get a MASSIVE fine.
