    Precious got a supercharger

    Wow Chris I am honestly a little jealous, ...this country isn't what it once was and is only getting worse. Australia I'm sure is going to be a great place for you all to live.

     

    Love the Nissan Pathfinder too.

    Looks a very cool off-roader, ...just needs a rifle rack, snorkel, some jerry cans, spare tyre on the roof and it is all set. :D

    Super Charger Cold Air Intake

    It'll probably loose you power.

    Not true at all imho.

     

    The standard Vortech filter isn't very big so I would say has a limited amount of air it can draw through its surface area whereas fitting one of the larger filters allows for a larger surface area and more airflow, again imho.

     

    I did the "DIY" CAI on my own 350Z when I had it supercharged, ...not the best picture but you can see part of it in the picture below.

    I followed @Sam Mcgoo excellent guide for the most part.

    Having taken time to read through this thread in its entirety I feel it necessary to remind members that although healthy discussions are always welcome on here you must please do it with a modicum of decorum. 

     

    This is obviously an invoking topic that most, including myself, have strong views regarding but it must be remembered that although we may not always agree with another persons thoughts and opinions personal insults against one another is not the way to go about discussing this or putting an opinion across. 

     

    For the most part though I've read some very reasoned arguments and opinions so please do try to keep it civil everyone. Thank you :thumbs:

    To DeCAT or not to DeCAT

    in Exhaust

    Posted

    When I had my 350Z I did eventually get De-Cats on mine but that was more of a necessity than anything else because mine was supercharged with over 430Bhp so if I had used Sports Cats or normal Cats it wouldn't have taken long before I'd have damaged the insides of them. 

     

    One big problem with De-Cats is that they're not road legal so will undoubtedly void your car insurance should the worse happen and they find out in the event of a claim. 

     

    Performance wise imho there isn't a lot of difference between a De-Cat and a good performance Sports Cat.

    The real difference is always in the price with a good Sports Cat usually being double the cost of a De-Cat which I think is the deciding factor for a lot of people in reality when choosing their mods.

     

    Personally I'd say if you can stretch to Sports Cats (HFC's) with your new full exhaust system then do that otherwise just get a good Cat to back exhaust system and talk to the exhaust fabricator about your preferences. They can make sure it is plenty loud enough even with running the OEM Cats.
