Josh42 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi all, Just bought myself a HKS 4" exhaust from a member on here. What adapters if any will I need to mate the 4" centre section up to my cats? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why would you bother to run CATS with a 4" exhaust, no point in fitting the exhaust with them left in even if you can get it to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-duper Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 On Josh42's behalf - Picked up the exhaust at a reasonable price, it isn't for any performance benefit just to make it sound a bit more menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fitting decats will improve the sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 What RDS said^ lol Not able to double decat just yet, but question is, will it fit with cats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If you de-cat that with a 4" you best buy ear defenders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 The Exhaust is in excellent condition and has come in at a very reasonable price... Also wanted the typical "supra big can" look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 So anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Any pics of the exhaust, does it have v-band flange on the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sams Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 best way would be to get a 4' flange that would bolt/attach to the new exhaust and have that welded to the 2nd cat flange. simple to so if you can weld or know someone that can weld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Whifbits sell a 4" vband to 3" 2 bolt adapter. But you have to be carefull. I think the hks uses a different mounting point? On mine it moved the mount too far so then didn't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Exhaust bolted straight up! Result! Nice and grunty too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Was going to say it bolts up to standard as i have the hks four inch super drager to standard cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-duper Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Can't offer you any sound clips just yet but here's a few pics of me and Josh42 fitting it today Looks much better, and sounds a whole load more Supra-like!

Supra-duper Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Good grief you were both brave getting under that ! Good old Hal-frauds axle stands, can't go wrong! In all seriousness would of been much better if we had some of those drive on ramps but ahh-well. Just need to get rid of the sticker that sits above the exhaust now.
