just kidding.

What exhaust is it? looks nice and shiny.. is there an after power figure?

by **pHaT`eL** » August 14th, 2010, 3:21 pm

They usually get XR FPV club for Fords and HSV club for the Holden guys

by **LOW_XR** » August 16th, 2010, 8:38 pm

heres a few with the exhaust fitted.wasnt too bad to fit. easier than it was to fit my au extractors. i was surprised to find it has 4 oxy sensors!

by **bentls** » August 16th, 2010, 8:50 pm

lol your extractors are about to eat a gayu

by **LOW_XR** » August 16th, 2010, 8:53 pm

haha i less of em off the road :drinks2:

by **Rollin** » August 16th, 2010, 11:18 pm

The first two o2 sensors are for mixture correction and the second two are to check catalyst efficiency - hence why I asked about engine lights before, as many of the 'high flow' cats aren't any good and the car will set 'catalyst low efficiency' codes - the same thing happens if you bash the cats out completely of course.

by **LOW_XR** » August 17th, 2010, 8:26 pm

yeah i assumed the 2nd set were to make sure the cats are fine.

a few pics next to the stock exhaust. pretty cool the stock exhaust is stainless. then i got change it with mild steel :lol:

ill try get a sound clip or whatever and post that.

by **Parfrey** » August 17th, 2010, 8:59 pm

the stock exhaust doesn't look half bad.. my mate took out the 2 rear mufflers in his ve ss wagon and it sound ok now, before you couldn't even tell it was an 8!

by **bentls** » August 18th, 2010, 7:15 am

nah, the ute had tasmania itis (moving on from the water damage joke) and he got it real cheap... he swapped a ea gl for the exhaust too

by **Bipolar** » August 18th, 2010, 7:38 am

by **LOW_XR** » August 22nd, 2010, 7:20 pm

got a few pics of stock headers and cats. strange looking but guess they kinda work due to the power they make.
also picked up some top gun 10mm leads. autobarns want $340 for these!!!! its like 2 inches of lead. how can they charge that!!!
good old ebay $112 later-

by **LUXO_8** » August 22nd, 2010, 7:23 pm

those cats look fkn wierd....haha

by **LOW_XR** » August 22nd, 2010, 7:29 pm

haha yep. was strange the first time i saw em :scratch:

by **burnt turtle** » August 22nd, 2010, 7:33 pm

anyway as it happens we have come across problems already. fuckin hate cars sometimes

will keep ya's updated....

by **4dlvr** » August 24th, 2010, 8:08 pm

those cats do wonders controlling emissions, thats why they look like pigs.. its basically the biggest contribution car manufactures concentrate on when attempting to increase emission efficiency.
i remember my local exhaust guy opening up a bf mkiii territory cat,to take a look inside, he could hardly belive it even flowed the gas out the exhaust..
for that reason you will find the new cats you fitted will improve power more so than the extractors and cat back..

Rollin is correct about the sensors, so be sure to plug all of them in, even drill a hole and plug it in if needed..

by **LOW_XR** » August 24th, 2010, 9:48 pm

cheers man, yeah plugged them all in nice and tight.

by **misk** » August 24th, 2010, 10:24 pm

you cant handle the 2jz can you? lol

what problems have you got man?
