Hi All just a Quick query for ya all.

How Many Cats does an Altezza have (My old IS200 had 3) thinking they may be different due to engine.

Is it worth getting a Full Decatted System with Manifold for Power Gains? not looking to do much else to the engine other than Induction and Small mods

Regards

Thanks for the Info Matey smile.gif No Altezza yet but just planning stuff for the future - prices etc msn-wink.gif
Oh yeah btw do they have the Oxy Sensors as usual in the Cat/Cats? Thinking of a Full Decat Job for Performance dry.gif

Yes they do ... but the sensors are in the pipe before the CATS ( manual has 1 but the 5AT has 2 ).... aftermarket 4-2-1 systems for the manuals have the required threaded hole in them already....

If you planning on doing alot of mods then i recommend you buy a Manual as there is very little aftermarket parts for the 5AT as i have found out ...

Good luck smile.gif

thank you, the reason i was asking is, this box doesn`t look like a cat it just looks like an oval silencer.

Dougs,

Here's the piccies of your "cat" to me it's deffo a silencer, cats are tapered front and rear and have a heat shield. The boys at the custom exhaust place also stated it was a silencer -:
