Surely sport cats gonna be a lot better than two std cats ??

And to get good std cats probs cost just as much??

My original plan was to just fit 3.0 downpipes and move lambda but i thought for a decent price i can have atainless downpipes mandrel bend with two magnaflow 200cell sports cats in them.. why would this not be better??

Think im going to start small and see the improvements or lack off..

going to have new downpipes made with sports cats but leave the nice quiet system in place as condition is completely ok at moment.
complete full service
gearbox update via tech 2 (still cant find anyone local to liverpool)
remove excess pipe in airbox from bottom
and maybe get all injectors refurbed

Spot on bud. .. yes a crossover is a xpipe what im on about recomended on twin bank engines to balance it out
Be good if u got a magnaflow system front ti back ...

Pics and videos would be awesome hahau



Just down at profusion here at heathrow. At the moment just getting a stainless back box fitted. I was talking to the chap a full cat back system using magnaflow. He said he wouldnt go the route of 2 into 1 but would fit a crossover then bring them both into back box.
 After taking my back of he started the car and rev'd it.(what a lovely sound). Idea behind this was to get a sound level so we could decide what size rear box to put on. It now sound nice without any low down drone :y

Ive not seen nor is it listed on jetex site they do a sports cat downpipe..

If they do that be fab..

I completely know and understand it wont be as quiet as a mild steel system i jave stainles on all my cars
But you can get loud or quiet ones...

Yes i stated i want it to be a copy of std system and do in sense of two middle boxes and a rear silencer. But i was tempted by a x pipe to balance flow from bank to bank when its firing plus x pipes allow a decibel reduction due to the noises cancelling each other other out going through x pipe...

It would be after cat xpipe due to cooling of exhaust gas u dont want it mega hot


Im after releasing a bit of power hence were all this coming from and my omega i see me keeping it at least 5 years if not longer spot on car....


My plan was fit some 3.0 downpipes with sports cats welded in place of std cat
( lost pre cats and gained aports cats plus flow of earlier downpipes better due to shape)

Std bore mandrel bent cat back stainless system like std but with x pipe in it

Then have it mapped my motorsport developments

Any one got any advice?? Oh and anyone know other places to have omega mapped

Again


Im not getting or have i mentioned im getting a single pipe system
.. getting a copy of std system twin pipe front to back

With regards to x pipe there suposed to encourage scavaging of exhaust gases and allow tone and decibel reading of exhaust to be altered... jist because it doesnt come with it doesnt mean it needed...

How does yours run with no cats is it better ??


No they dont

The quote is for a copy of my systen two pipes front to back box .. two centre silencers
And a rear backbox.

Looked at jetex before bit tips just look stupid 80mm and round ... unfortunetely no offer of other tips..

I know what your saying about longlife and powerflow as there a franchise some are of poor quality i got stung by longlife on a old car but when i had misses decat made at a different dealer they did a spot on and tig welded joints were beautiful..

With regards to flexi joint etc they will do what u ask.. mine will be flexi jointed twin centew boxed possibly with xpipe to balance flow between banks..


Also if yours sounded awful you should have gone back you get lifetime guaratee and faults they fix it...


Im more after as i asked in first quotes... is a xpipe recomended and bore size of std system...
And does anyone have any recomendation of removing pre cats and fitting sports cats is it a
Worthwhile mod...

Not really asking about brand or where to buy from cheers though


If fitting a stainless system, best off getting the full system from demon twerks, it's a jetex, system looks identical to standard, flows better, cost bit more than a "bespoke"

The problem with the so called bespoke systems, they, use a join, and change it to a single box system,
Two centre boxes replaced, by 1, to make the over axle bend easier, and one pipe, some also cut the flanges off,, and weld the new system on to the downpipes, or make the new system slip jointed, on to downpipes.

To answer your initial question. The original exhaust doesn't have a cross pipe so it isn't needed. As for sports cats... Mixed experiences I'm afraid but I have none on an Omega.

As for the other comments... Just the experiences of people here. I've only ever seen stainless systems with single pipes, including the one on my other Omega ;)

What is the standard pipe bore for a v6 omega exhaust..

Thinking of having a stainless one made my powerflow for my elite..
Will tell them...

Want it quiet like stock...
Twin angled tips like stock...

Couple things unsure off though

Do you think worth having a x pipe in system to balance flow..
Mandrel or crushed bend or is there nothing init on road use really

And also seen as mine a 3.2 thinking of deleteing pre cats and swapping cata for sports cat recomended or not ??

searched diagnostic procedure in search bar nothing came up

If genuine park sensors, follow the inbuilt diags procedure. Do a search, you'll find it.

If pattern, rip it out and replace.

sometimes when i engage reverse my sensors just hum constantly. (basically as if disconnected)
then after a couple times between neutral and reverse or park and reverse they engage and work.

anyone got any ideas am assuming can only be parking sensor module or switch on box if it has one
