CATS as in 2?
did u get a front pipe done from dumps down ?
The 3" pipe starts after the 1st (hollow)cat.
I had "gutted" both of the cats soon after I bought it. I did this because I thought the cats would be well expired/clogged buy then and I didn't want to make the car any louder than stock. It actually made the change from one turbo to both smoother and improved the fuel economy.
Later when I did the 'zorst I wanted to leave the 1st section stock so that I didn't run into any overboosting problems, and the fact that the hollow cat acts as a resonator helped as well.
The car runs 16psi with no boost controller so I'm happy I decided to leave that section alone.
The car sounds mint.
It runs the perfect boost I want.
And it's just quiet enough so that I don't get hassled by the cops.
I've already gutted the first cat when I had it off for the engine change. I plan to get a new 3" pipe from that to a new 3" cat which will connect to my 3" single system. This pipe is currently a dodgy peice of bent and rusted tube with very bad welding.
I'm hoping the 2.5" flanges on the first cat will be enough to keep boost in check. I had thought of removing the second cat all together but the fines for this are not worth it.
I start the new job tuesday, so i might be able to offer the downpipe to members at a discounted price. (if theres hadnt already been changed from stock during compliance.
I would have paid that too, it took me for ever to gut that first cat. I'll only replace it now when I go single with a custom 3/3.5" pipe from the back of the turbo down to the cat.
It seems that to achieve that it took little modding and little $, correct me if I'm wrong.
I priced Greddy BCC at about ~$60 and PRofec B Spec II at $344

How much was the aftermarket exhaust?
Exhaust price will vary. I'm in NZ so my prices will be different.
