Hi flow cat choice? - EvoXForums.com

livnpaintball2 · 02-04-2013, 04:43 PM

I'm going to install a hi flow cat but wonder if I should use a 200 or 100 cell cat? What do you think? Test pipe is not an option.

the minimum you can get away with. where are you? whats keeping you from a tp?

I have a 200 cell for sale for cheap. 200 cells are the best IMO because you can usually get away with passing emissions and sniffer tests but you still get a lot of flow. Also doesn't give off any smell at all either. 100 cell is too close to a test pipe, and 300 cell is too restrictive.

i just installed a brand new turboxs hfc with 100 cell over the weekend. i can definitely smell the fumes. i think i'll move up to 200 cell soon. my fujitsubo exhaust got a little bit louder too.

Yup

It's obviously not as bad as a test pipe but I still sometimes get a whiff if I've been getting on it and roll up to a stop light with the windows down or if I park and step out. AFRs are normal too, I log 24/7

I had a Mil.SPEC 100 on my car, passed emissions in OHIO with it. Not cheap though. I could get some smells before it warmed up and at the first stop of prolonged interstate driving. Other than that, never an issue.

ive resorted to simply doing a cat/tp swap when i need to do emissions testing. its once a year and theres zero chance i dont pass. never any CEL's, and i do it all myself.

I'll running ETS HFC and mine doesn't smell.

i'm a Fan to ETS pipes their tp/hfc is quality, only issue i found with ETS is my DP has a rattle in it, i suspect its the flex pipe but haven't isolated it, you can only hear it part throttle.
