They seem to do quite reasonable high flow cats.

Dont forget how loud it is mate! The K1 sounds really raspy with the bungs in and HFCs.

Sarcasm ?

[Ian]

No

 

I butchered it myself to make new pipe

 

I should have said "It was great quality until I butchered it"

[nurrish]

Ah i see......

Ichiba does not make high flow cats..they are resonated test pipes

[Dblock]

I know this is proper minky, but if you got 2 cats cheap and hammered out all the stuff would that be the same as a resonated decat (test pipe)

[Adam@Z1auto.com]

no, that would be the same as a test pipe, sans resonator

[Dblock]

no, that would be the same as a test pipe, sans resonator

 

Would it not be a little quieter as a test pipe or decat is usually the bore of the exhaust but the cat ballons in the middle creating lower pressure? I could be very very wrong though

[Adam@Z1auto.com]

I highly doubt it would sound any different

Lol well worth a try on the cheap.
