The precat near the radiator start to deteriorate with powdery white flaking material that will be suck up or blown inside the engine which eventually destroy the piston and valves.
To those with high mileage VQ35DE , my advised is to gut or replaced the precat near the radiator.

Awesome. Finally, someone that knows wtf they're doing!

You should see what that precat looks like after another 70k miles lol. And people think I'm blowing smoke up their asses.

Window weld works great for motor mounts

When are you buying the 3" catback?

I am searching for Megan Exhaust catback , unfortunately the manufacturers is out of stock or stop making it for the 5th gen.
Only available is OBX catback and SRS.

Yeah, you're not going to be able to get that Megan catback, but good luck...I waited 2 months on back order before I got lucky and scored my Cattman last year, still in love with the sound and performance

Very nice. You caught that pre-cat disintegration very early
That car has got a looooong life ahead of it.

SRS sounds real good(if a lil loud) and you get a small bump in power but you can't squeeze the extra HP when compared to a 3"

However, it is less than half the price of a 3" exhaust for a nice 2.5" SS catback

What happened to Megan? I got mine not too long ago, less than 2 months ago I'd say, directly from Megan Racing. Last I know Megan still makes them for the 5th gen

Oh ok, guess they must have finally got a batch going or something....they had me waiting forever so I just said f--- it and pull the trigger on the Cattman. I did like the sound of the Megan, but I love, love the Cattman!!

Sheesh, my man had that bag prepared for the Max. We'll be seeing that Max here around 2020.
