High flow cats and extractors

[gamevx]

I am thinking of gettin some extractors fitted to my V6. i'm gettin a set of pacemakers. Now what i wont to know is it worth putting new high flow cats in? its going to cost me just as much for the cats as the extractors, and some ppl tell me it not worth puttin new ones on a 6 cos the stock ones are ok.

whats everyones opinion on cats?

Hi flow cats are not necessary on a stock engine. The standard cats flow enough. If you turbo or supercharge it then it would be ok but leave your standard ones there.

i have to race cats and makes a diference but then im charged but yes if n/a i wouldnt bother with twin but would still go high flow single

The local Carline Mufflers guy told me that if I get extractors, is should get a high flow cat otherwise i shouldnt bother with the extractors.

Problem is that the V6's need some backpressure and though the stock ones are a bit restrictive its not worth going hi flow cats unless you plan to go turbo or supercharged later on then

The only reason you were told that is because they wanted to sell you a hi flow cat. The extractors will give you the benefit, a hi flow cat will take it away.

About maybe 3-5kw gain hardly bang for buck:w00t: :rofl:

And then only noticeable on a dyno. Street feel would actually be worse.

Yeah, what Not_An_Abba_Fan said...
I got headers, stock cat and then a 2.5 Catback behind that...
Cause really got a kick in the arse will all that...
Sure the cats might give u an extra 3kw but u will not feel that on the road.
UNless ur gonna charge, then cats are an idea
