Took delivery a few minutes ago. Here she is... I'll install it this evening when I get home and write a review for everyone. :D

 

Look great.

Im looking forward to the next meet to check it out.

 

I found a closer dyno shop in Tacoma. So I'm going to get another one pulled and compare it to last Saturday's run.

 

What exhaust are you using along with this "super cat"....I'm wondering what the stock part looks like compared to the new one...looks nice.

 

Is that a high flow CAT or a CATless Midpipe?

I cannot find any mention of a "Super CAT" on

Lemme know when you go - I'll tag along

 

Racing Beat currently installed

 

It's not their because it is too new. I am the first to get one outside of the company.

 

Sure - no problem. Let's get Dan to come also with his laptop :D Here is their website. I have not had a chance to call them yet to discuss the dyno.

Super High Flow CAT

 

I know them well.

That place built my Ford Probe to the tune of 248whp/256lbs-ft @ 7.5psi... Was a pretty good $4,000 investment

I did a dyno day with them once - they quoted me "$10 per pull". After the event, they gave me a bill showing I owed them another $230.

"What happened to $10 per pull???" I asked

"We'd have never quoted you that low...it costs us more to pay the guy (dyno operator) than that..."



I ended up giving them $125 of it - they 'covered' the rest because i was a customer. Other than that one mis-communication, they do excellent work, and are good people.





Austin's ProMax (just a block or so from there) has a dyno as well.

 

^^^sweet......hope to hear first impressions this evening once it is installed.....do you happen to knwo when they are going to be selling it? nic eto have more than one option as so far i could only find one high-flow cat (sr motorsports).

 

Looks very nice. Different dynos might give you very different results Nemesis. Be careful you don't get taken, that story by dmp is kind've scary. Good luck.

 

Yeah, I agree. I e-mailed them and they have a Dynojet chassis dyno just like the one we used on Saturday. The quoted me $50 to setup and one pull. Each additional pull is $10 a piece. I might check the other one dmp mentioned - Austin's ProMax and see what they will quote me.

Do you think I should just go back to Kirkland where we were last Saturday and use the same dyno?

 

Not really sure, you can call and ask for Rocky and check. They might be up to speed on production of them by now. I just got lucky and grabbed the first one.

 

I can't believe the difference is worth the cost - $95 for a few pulls, vs $80 for four pulls at Turbo Tech. Comparing 'corrected' values would likely fix any huge discrepancies.

 

I don't feel like driving to Kirkland, so Turbo Tech is it. I'll PM you when I setup the Dyno.

 

Nem,

How much was the cat? Does it have a spot for the O2 sensor?

 

$395.00 for the pipe
$30.00 for the Bolt & Gasket Kit
$15.95 for S+H
$440.95 total

And yes, it has a bung for the O2 sensor. Look at the first photo closer, see it?

 

if possible, could you weigh the stock piece vs. the new one? be good to know what weight you can shave off. Thx

 

The new one weighs 11.8 lbs. I'll weigh the OEM tonight hopefully.

 

By the Way Kevin - I got that 'Treatment' Product today; When you dyno, I'll do those before and afters- if my wife lets me spend the $

 

What size is that pipe?

 

I'm going to assume this will not cause a CEL then? Hmmm, decisions decisions, to go through the hassle of the CEL and a fooler O2, or just get a midpipe with a cat.

 

if it makes decent power i'd go with the highflow cat. i believe the sr motorsports one made ~8-10hp at the wheels. I hoep this one can be just as good (hehe dare i wish a lill better:p)
