^ Haha ain't got anything to do with being a pussy. I'm sick of the noise... and the loss of low end.

HFC instead of precats? Hmmm I'd rock that. I'll ask him

Question:

I was running low on gas the other night (Shell) with nothing but Mobil/Marathon in sight (can't remember which one I used). Anyway, at the time, I had a CEL. Filled up with Mobil/Marathon and started driving again on the highway. The CEL went away. Yesterday I refilled with Shell again and my CEL popped back up.

Can anyone explain this?

Majofo

Gas cap? are you using the same Shell station?

I think HFC are better IMO. Best as far as low to top end, depending on your setup.

It could have been the gas cap or crappy gas. I would drive that one out and try another station.

Tripnbeats

yea ive been getting gas cap bitch message myself....only if i throw in 20 bucks or so....if i fill, the car says thanks and the message goes right away

I filled half the tank up with the non-Shell gas. I always tighten my gas cap properly (at least I think I do). I topped up with Shell.

Anyway, I'm switching out the deletes for some type-s precats. I would like to try HF precats but I'm afraid they'll burn out (like the EShift Procats which were metal substrate too).

Don't blame you with the type-s cats. I found some metal shavings when I switched out my 3 cat. Not throwing any cel's; so far so good.

Sorry the precats didn't work out for you. At least you know it is in high demand as far as resale.

Tripnbeats

yea very true...t0tal...u recommend the 3rd cat delete as well?? im having a tough time deciding right now

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Yeah well, I def felt the power up top but I'm more of a city driver so my low end is important to me. Plus, I want a quieter ride

I'll be switching out the deletes and my HF 3rd cat. Will throw in the type-s precats and the RV6 non-res race pipe.

I hope she's throaty

milk man

i remember when you said the comptech was to quite for you lol

let me know how those type s cats work out for you

i ll tell you one thing when im running on empty some times i ll get a cel but only when im 1/4 tank or so. but when i fill up it goes away

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Comptech is too soft... but CT + deletes is a little too much for me. I'm just not a fan of the low RPM drone... WOT is music.

milk man

^ i hear what you say ... drone is alittle much with the set up i have now but at wot is music to my ears too

Jason,

You giving up on the deletes already?? I thought you loved em? Im sure you will be able to sell them pretty quick tho. Maybe delete the mid-muffler on the comptech for a lil more throatier sound?

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Don't get me wrong. Theres nothing wrong with the deletes... just not my thing I guess.

I don't want to hack up the CT exhaust.

iTrader: (1)

wow. I like that video on the first page with the precats and ct. I might experiment to choose whether I should run high flow third cat or keep my test pipe.

NBPacuraTL

iTrader: (1)

well, nevermind. I'm not sure anymore since I hear the rasp in your revving video =/

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Haha yeah well, it was almost freezing when I recorded that video. I'll record another one before I take them out since its warmer here and the HFC lessens the rasp.

BTW, theres no rasp at WOT... just when theres no load on the engine.

dude just have richie make the darn hfc using mangaflow spuncats since they are covered under a lifetime warranty they'll survive and if they dont its easy to get replacements

ed99

Sorry but I don't want to jack this thread but since we are talking about Pre-cat deletes here has anyone have one running with the Greddy??

If so, was it louder than before and was there any rasp at all??

TIA

ed

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Lots of people are running catless with the Evo2's... especially in NY! Haha

Yes it will definitely be louder. As for rasp, it will be raspy unless you install some type of aftermarket resonator (ie. Aero AR25)

ed99

What if I keep the OEM 3rd cat in there? The HP gains are very tempting for the price but not a big fan if my Greddy gets even louder.

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Buy a RV6 high flow cat and weld in a resonator or two.
