Header for the SP20

[coldie123]

twilight, can u still get cheap hiflow cats for us? and are they rust-proof?
how much do you think it'll cost to get one custom made if we provide our own cat?

and yeah i prob don't wanna lose even more low end torque, so probably 2.5 is too big. and its probably safer to get it custom made coz it'll fit exactly.

i havent spoken to the guy for ages, but i found him on ebay. looks like his prices have gone up :

he's happy to deal outside ebay which i did.

also, they are carsound cats - which are a no-name magnaflow cat so they are good

 

[coldie123]

cool thanks! i'll check it out. gotta love ebay

 

[twilightprotege]

yeah ebay rocks!

in brief, what exactly does a hi-flow cat do?
im a stoopid noob.

 

[coldie123]

its just a catalytic converter that is less restrictive (in terms of gas flow) than the stock ones. i dunno if they do as good a job in reducing pollutants as the stock ones tho.
kinda like a straight-thru muffler compared to a stock muffler with baffles - better flow at the expense of less noise reduction.

 

[twilightprotege]

they convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, by-product water. this is why mild steel exhuasts dont last long

cool! and you got a gasket too! is it the gasket for the engine side of the header? i still haven't heard whether mine's been shipped or not, but i've got a feeling it hasn't (nervous)

u tempted to install it yourself?

 

[sabrelli]

well, i still aint got mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[coldie123]

did you get your knob?

 

[sabrelli]

yeah the gasket is on the engine side of the header. but mine is bent, i probably have to use my stock one again.

yes im very tempted to do the install myself... (yippy)

by the way do we have to do the MIL fix, because if we do we cant do the install without power, since we need to solder.

anyway just let me know when u get the header.

 

[sabrelli]

Nah we dont need the MIL fix for our sp20s as we have different computer to the yankie doodles

 

[twilightprotege]

yep no MIL fix needed

funny you should ask about the MIL fix.. that was actually the original purpose of this thread

can't u just straighten the bent gasket? or will it snap?
