im thinkin about getting a high flow cat for my s13.. wut do people think?

 

thats cool. Do you have equal sized piping for the header, and the rest of the exhaust?

 

why would that matter?


buy a universal one on ebay, and have a shop weld your stock cat flanges onto it... that'll save you a few bucks

 

just buy a full catback exhaust off e-bay.......thats what i did, i only spent $300.00 and i got a 3ich Downpipe... and the 3inch SSAC catback.....and SSAC gave me a free 3inch Testpipe with the catback

 

hi flow cat won't do anything unless you have a decent catback and header AND intake already.


Otherwise, get the other stuff I said first.

 

I have a HKS high power exhaust= full cat back and an intake... only thing i dont have is a header and yes i know i should get one but they are expensive so i was wondering if a high flow cat would be something to have

 

yes.......you should get on......you might find it better to look for a s13 header/high flow cat package, here is one i found for $170.00 shipped :

 

yeah but what is the brand, how is the quality? Legal?

don't cheap out on parts, its not worth it. Save up and do it right the first time. Its not going to kill you to wait a little longer, why do you think my car still looks like a POS?
Saving up for the big picture.

 

i feel the same way.....all i was saying is that there are better deals out there if he were just to buy all the things he needs in one package........i wasnt saying buy that one package i posted......i was simply giving him some ideas.....

oh and as for the being Legal part, i dont know much about that........here in GA, we dont have emissions...so.....i dont have to worry about that, but as for the rest of you....i dont know

 

That Megan Racing header/downpipe doesn't fit. it's Crap.

Get Greddy or Hotshot header, then a high flow cat to complete the breathing

 

thanx guys... i dont care about legal because we dont have emissions test in florida and i would like to get headers first but does any1 know of some good brands for less than say... 200?

 

$200 for a good brand - no way. Pay to play. If you only have $200 for headers, you either buy el cheapo Ebay stuff and pretend it's good, or save more money and buy some real proven headers (which will not be under $200 unless it's bought used.)

 

yeah, i'm not sure about Greddy, but you can sneak off with a Hot Shot header for around 300-360 bucks.
From a REAL store, don't try to buy it off Ebay, chances are its not really hotshot, just says it.

 

I have bought that crappy downpipe and resonator, bracket is on the wrong side, DON'T TOUCH THAT CRAP. I paid it, installed it and trust me, you don't want that on your car. Unless you want rattleling and funny noise comming out of these parts... I finally bought a magnaflow hi cat with a hotshot headers and now I am a happy camper !
