ive heard stuff about the dynomax mufflers falling apart

 

I've had one on my car since '05, no problems with it

 

is your dynomax made out of steel of alum? and how has it held up to rusting if any.

 

All steel.

No rust either, it's held up to a few winters in both MD and TN.

 

well i guess while we are waiting for the pics of the headers we can continue this for a bit...

do i need a centered outlet placement and a offset inlet or?

would this be something im looking for?

wait for iiit...........

 

Thats what I got when I did mine, a good shop will know how to make it work

but i prefer the super turbo muffler, I don't anything about the thrush ones...

 

this is all i have right now.....i took these when b4 i put the headers on

 

Now all OBX has to do is make a 3rd version but with the collectors dumping into 3in pipes.

 

yea these r 2.5 inch

 

Nice, so you did measure it to be 2.5in?

The older ones were like 2 or 2.25

 

those look pretty good...

 

The equal length tubing looks to be tighter then cattmans, but probably still won't clear a blehmco LTB.

3" won't happen...not cost effective to any company. Your best bet is custom, not mention custom stuff is just nicer anyways...

 

When are you gonna install them?

 

He already did.

 

any comment on the power output?

 

I think that's what we're all waiting on..

 

I'll be doing a dyno pull soon to look at my newly self installed Cattman Headers power production!

 

You 5th gen owners can dream right? If they showed higher gains and there was demand someone would make it. Wasn't Cattman saying if he got enough people he would do a 3in exhaust, I bet he would do a gen4 header with 3in downpipes to go with a full 3in system if there was enough interest. Unfortunately this will probably never come to be and is all a pipe dream.

 

^^^ haha no pun intended huh?

 

It would be terrible business move for brian to make a 3 inch header set up. Sure it would be nice to have it available, but for the price he'd have to sell it, I can take a guess as to how many people will buy it...

It would be better for both parties for the consumer to go custom.

 

hard hard is it to get a picture of this setup installed? a jack and like 5 mins and i would be placing my order by now.

 

where are the pics and vid?

 

they will never come.

 

still a waiting!

 

I don't think he owns a jack

 

how you own a modded car and not own a jack is beyond me......

 

Are those cattman Headers?

 

Yes.

 

Trying to provoke a response from him.

 

I brought two products to this forum...all of you raised your hand to buy it...none of them had the money when the time came. Custom work is the best way to get things done around here. I did my 3" catback exhaust, I was nearly mentioning that a larger collector could prove to have more gains...MexiMax discovered this a long time ago. In fact there is alot of improvement that can be done over the current header design, just not a good idea if you want to continue to use the car as a daily and be able to change the oil.

Anything is possible, trust me. why do we always need someone else to make it for us?

 

Yes cattmans...

Oil changing sucked just a little bit

 

For those of you who are interest in the 3" collector design...Flowmaster make a 2.25 primary(really our secondary) into a 3" collector. P/n Y214300 and for the 2.5" primary/w 3" collector p/n Y250300

i have a question... how well will 3" collector w/ a 3" exaugst wrk for N/A cars..... i thought you go that size for turbo's

 

its a myth...that was broken with dyno results and gains at around 15+whp could get more with header modification IMO of course.

 

This setup that broke the myth was a Oem manifold/Oem Y-pipe or an aftermarket y-pipe +stock manifolds connected to a 3" catback? Were the gains all the way thru it's usable RPM range or just peak power gains? Just cause it's gained power @ peak but lost power everywhere as doesn't mean it'll be great for street performance......

Cattman headers, gained quite a bit of power with Cattman's 3" catback over the 2.5" catback.

 

Hmm, well I think I'll be one of the first to try the 3" catback without headers. Why not right?

 

Yall still haven't answered the real question...Where was power gained through out the 1000-6600 rpm range or just up @ the top?

 

Did you look at the thread?
