you'll be much happier without the secondary cats

jcarlucci1 · 06-11-2008, 02:41 PM

good idea on the poll..I want to go catless as well, but hesitant due to smell, etc.

I need to decide if I am going to keep them or not. I might put up a poll....

PresaMat · 06-11-2008, 02:42 PM

Kyle,
I hate the the bearer of bad news... but you might have trouble making 400rwhp right now. I think your car can do it but the summer gas blend down here is really getting crappy. Ill bet if you dont make 400... redyno when they go back to winter blend and you will.

That and get those secondary cats off!

Thanks Mat, I can depend on you....

(kidding)

We will see what happens, I made 365rwhp with intake and V3. Hopefully Catless DPs, removing the secondary cats, and reducing boost taper up top is good for 25-35hp....

With completely unrestricted you might be able to pull it off. Might also throw just a little race gas in (half a gallon) to try to equalize what winter gas is like.

the smell is probably my biggest turnoff about going catless, but it's not too bad. if you're moving and/or have your windows up you can't smell it. only if your at a light or in a garage and just idling with your windows open does ti really bother you.

jpsimon · 06-11-2008, 02:53 PM

honestly the smell isn't that bad AT ALL. it should not factor into your decision at all

My catless sti was bearable, you don't even notice it after a while. It's just the fact of the car being louder catless which sucks.

jcarlucci1 · 06-11-2008, 04:14 PM

I would like it to be a bit louder..2nd cats and resonator are already removed..Also worried about tips/rear bumper turning black from carbon. Is that an issue?

Damn nice! GL bro

As you know, one of the cool features about v3 is the traction nanny

Smooth feeling no matter what tires you run, so don't feel too bad about the RFTs; you'll change them out eventually.

i took my rear cats out and it sounded like crap i had them put back the next day....

HB335 · 06-11-2008, 05:24 PM

Good luck hitting that 400 mark! I'm gonna try going catless. I have RR DPs and gonna gow with supersprint straight pipe and x pipe with a bastuck muffler. Wonder what its going to sound like.

pittyinSC · 06-11-2008, 05:53 PM

You could just take a Nitrous bottle and while its on the dyno open
it up into the intake, but that would be unfair, haha.

I know a guy who took his Camry rental, it made 120whp on his Dyno Dynamics.
Then he opened up a little nitrous into his intake and made 170whp

...but
then the transmission started to slip a little because they aren't built to handle any extra power.

LambOfGod · 06-11-2008, 07:03 PM

Just pour a little nitrous in a squirt bottle and spray it in while the technician isn't looking. 404hp I bet.

if it boosts your low end and top end significantly, don't worry too much about the peaky peak hp... dp's on the S4 didn't post huge peak gains but cut down 1/4 times significantly and made them hit full boost WAY earlier and carry high end horse power later...

Icyhot85 · 06-11-2008, 09:36 PM

How much are DP installs?? And can you do them yourself?

It depends on the shop but most quote 3-4 hours @ 80-90 per hour. You can do them yourself but it is pretty hard. I have tried it and it is a PITA

Digital.James · 06-11-2008, 09:56 PM

Good luck Kyle!

I canceled my dyno appointment. No point in going without my V3.

Maybe next weekend

335iheLLraiseR · 06-11-2008, 10:03 PM

not to bust your bubble, but a good indicator that you will not achieve your goal is DOWN4IT's car. Shit, not even WalkedU's.

i'm rooting for you though.

hun77777 · 06-11-2008, 10:50 PM

so what happened to the dyno?
