Aeka GSR

I put a nice 3" high flow carsound cat on my turbo GSR so I wouldn't be such an environmental ***, but for God sakes my car feels ******* slow now. It's much quieter which I like, but it feels like I've got 300 lbs of iorn bricks strapped to my hood. I am so tempted to yank this ****** back off. It feels like I've got the A/C on. I feel myself giving it more gas to move, which seems to defeat the purpose of putting one on since I feel the need to suck more fuel now. Does anyone here know what kind of hit turbo cars take with a cat? I don't notice **** on N/A cars, but on a turbo it sure seems to build up some unwanted back pressure.

Hey AEKA, i remember u way back then from Hondasociety Nice to know u got ur car boosted and everything (yeah i know i'm outdated) as far as the cat... Damn thats just typical of a restrictive exhaust system.

I run a cat...love your mother...

lol, woah, oldschool stuff here. Yeah I've been boostin for over 2 years now. I'm thinking about keeping the cat but widening up the intercooler plumbing. Those were good times at hondasociety. Outuvit is still together but dwindelling, we are all growing up and having our own families, it takes away from the good times we had, but I stay in contact with em. So whats new?

get it re-tuned..you add back pressure - you run richer..

Cats suck. Get rid of it.

Changing the intercooler piping will not do anything to help you.

It's also true that you want to retune.

Where do you get the idea that a catalytic converter has anything to do with being environmentally friendly?

Its the thought that counts.

dude tell me about it. i run a 2.25" cat inline with a 2.5" dp and exhaust piping. only because the muffler guy wouldn't weld everything up unless i used my cat.

so should i run a 3" high flow carsound cat on my car?
how many HP did it kill?
Do you have dayno sheet before the Cat?
why dont you get it retuned and see how many hp you lost.

10-15 horsepower difference wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.
