4AT removing CAT
 
Does anyone know what is the Pro and Cons of removing CAT for 4AT?
will it make the car go faster or slower?

llzjayarzll 01-19-2007 12:56 PM

im pretty sure that it doesnt do anything significant alone, maybe a combination with pullies would help more noticable.

theboy 01-19-2007 01:41 PM

does it have a side effect or will it make the car go lean? or will it disturb the back pressure? or it will give higher flow rate?

RX8THELAW 01-19-2007 02:06 PM

nah it should be good but like he said with other mods you'll see bigger gains like exhuast and such

mysql101 01-19-2007 02:25 PM

you're going to gain maybe 3 hp, and it's going to make your car stink. You're better off just getting the rb reflash or something else that's not illegal.

theboy 01-19-2007 10:18 PM

oh ic. thanks for the info.

Also, large chance you throw up the annoying check engine light.

Ajax 01-19-2007 10:48 PM

not to mention it'll be loud..

I think the RB reflash is only for the MTs.

I'm trying a new rear end gear soon and will post my seat of the pants results once that happens.

i know it will be very fast on pickups. it will be amazing. but u will lose your topspeed.
but like all the singapore members say, how often u go 200km/h?
and u also need speed cut for that. hehehe

llzjayarzll 01-20-2007 04:25 PM

theres an RE flash on asia forums for AT. dont know if its still going on.

theboy 01-20-2007 07:55 PM

it was in singapore. no more.
i am located at east malaysia, that is north borneo to a lot of u.
can't send my car over, too far, so too bad for me.

I removed the stock cat and install the RP hi-flow. I did notice a change. It "seems" to pick up a little quicker. Also the thortle response is faster. Now since I dont have a g-tach or did a dyno, this is all speculation.

No cel yet.

Does it cause the idle to be rough?

09Factor 01-22-2007 08:46 AM

The idle was rough before the stockcat came off and the hi-flo went on. So I would say no.

Ive been running the stock cat and exaust for a while. I just put a strait pipe in place and gained 20 HP. Im shure its not as dramatic without FI but its proven the less back pressure the better on power with a rotory.

foo77 01-28-2007 12:30 AM

^ 20 HP... sound tempting.. did you dynoed it?

Yes, has this been dynoed? Why would a straight pipe add that much HP and the Hi Flow cats cannot touch that gain? Am I missing something? I know the cats will not have a 20 HP gain, but I would thing maybe a 10 HP gain. Help me out because if you really got 20 HP and have the dynos to show it (or back it up). WOW!

SlayerRX8 02-05-2007 12:06 PM

He said the gains were more dramatic because of forced induction. I'm sure he did dyno it since he's working on the 4 port blower at Pettit.
