g'day guys, Iv been running the standard cat with pacey 4480's and an auspac catback for the last year or so. Car makes a great sound, nice and deep and doesnt drone however the cat just shat itself.
Im looking at a hi flow , but im not sure whether or not to go 100 or 200cpi. Someone mentioned that the 100 sounds slightly more tinny?

cheers

I was just gonna go the 100cpi because its the best flowing but i dont want to ruin the exhaust note at the same time

The 100cpi Cat is illegal.

i just had a 2.5" mandrel bent cat back with 1 muffler, standard cat and standard manifold. sounded good.
but then i got a set of extractors. was gunna just fit them with the standard cat, but turns out the catalyst had cracked. so i got a 100cpi cat fitted.
then over 2500rpm it sounded like one of those B&S utes with no exhaust, terrible
so i had to get a resonator fitted. but now it sounds good again. and goes alot better.

the moral to my rambling is it may make it sound a bit tinny. so be prepared to maybe have to install another small resonator

the 100 cpi cat is a cat you have when you dont really want a cat..lol
100cpi is illegal, and your exhaust will almost smell like it has no cat, i know mine does..

imo a std 2 1/2" or even a 3" cat is enough for a std or slightly modified 4.0l..
if you want the "i got a high flow cat image" then the 200 cpi will do the job..

100 cpi is really only good for boosted applications, in some cases overkill..

cheers for the responses guys, i got quoted $260 for a 200cpi redback today so it looks like that might be the go.
Hopefully it doesnt alter the note to much

im not keen on the magnaflows..the last 2 magnaflow metal cats i had fell apart, the last ones center become dislodged and blocked my exhaust 1 week after its 12 month warranty expired, might be a differnt story for a n/a application... so i opted to try the venom cat.. more than a year later and still good. :)

My 100 cell cat didnt stink.

Everyone said they already smelled bad so I ripped it out and it was much, much worse.

The free 20rwkw was nice though. :)
