Exhaust Question ?

[L200JMC]

Just thinking of getting exhaust for my is200, Can the cat be removed, also would a slight bigger bore work. Thinking of getting a 6-2-1 in the near future. until i can afford a super charger. Thanks jamie

Won't pass the emission tests without a cat matey.

Pro-Lex do a great manifold, and some nice exhausts too if you still wan to be legal :D

[L200JMC]

will it run with the cat off tho DJ, with out any problems. Thanks Jamie

[Rob]

no because u still need to simulate the cat working other u will get a CEL check engine light

[L200JMC]

Powerflow, said there have a threaded pipe, so they could transfer it over. But if it dont work. ill just get cat back. Thanks

[DJ Wozza]

Pro-Lex manifold & HKS exhaust on mine sounds soooo good.

Hope you find a solution you are happy with

You can put the sensor in the powerflow, but unless you have a cat fitted it will show the Eng/man/light as Rob has said :D

wozza does your manifold bring the eng/light on as it doesnt have any cats

Yep matey, The Pro-Lex manifold replaces the Lexus one with the pre-cats

Are the hks kits Cat back then ?

Mine is just a backbox, but makes a noticeable difference on my S/C IS200.

Seems just that bit more responsive than before.

It does also make a lovely (yet unobtrusive) noise

[L200JMC]

Where would i get 1 from pro-lex, would a power flow pipe from back box to cat be ok, Anybody removed the silencer ?, Thanks also Dj

[DJ Wozza]

Pro-Lex has a couple to choose from, personally I don't like Powerflow, but thats just my personal opinion.

The Kazama 2 cat back or anything with HKS on it gets my vote

For the third time today, i find myself agreeing with the DJ known as Wozza!

Powerflow fitted a cat-back system on my mates Focus (1.8 zetec) and we dyno'd it at 5 bhp LESS than standard. Have heard similar stories from others too!

Also, i took my Celica to them with a can i supplied and asked them to fit it with stainless pipe upto the cat and they told me my backbox would not fit on my car and i would need one of theirs, and the job would cost another £175. But, it was designed for the car, and another garage had no problem fitting it at all!

(In all fairness, that could be down to the indervidual garage and not Powerflow in general.)

The powerflow centre I used did an excellent job on both my S/C IS200 and the Monaro. As indicated, it is down to the individuals.

I had a Pro-lex Manifold, HKS Superdrager back box and stainless mid made by Powerflow when I had the Lex and it sounded spot on. Went rather well too :D
