Matt _Aero top_ Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi guys Are all second cats the same reguardless of TT or NA etc Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Part numbers are very similar: NA = 17410-46190 TT = 17410-46160 Not 100% sure on differences, but from photos they do look interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 It just looks like on the front where it meets the fist cat it's a very thin flange on the top and bottom ..... Does it require some kind of special sealing ring ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The standard cats/exhaust joints have recesses shallow recesses and there are crush ring gaskets between them https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=toyota+crush+ring+exhaust&biw=1600&bih=861&tbm=isch&imgil=lENHd7AeSSkrAM%253A%253BSdK5pZZO6r6NhM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.parts.loc8apart.co.uk%25252Fnav%25252Fauto-part%25252FToyota%25252FHiace%25252FExhaust-Gaskets.php&source=iu&pf=m&fir=lENHd7AeSSkrAM%253A%252CSdK5pZZO6r6NhM%252C_&usg=__8TVKUFun7bS4fhqOf3aAGPeX7ZE%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjIp4HMn53NAhXGB8AKHVH_ACcQyjcIJw&ei=4ZVaV4izH8aPgAbR_oO4Ag#imgrc=lENHd7AeSSkrAM%3A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 All 2nd cats are interchangeable, but if you want to put a UK one on a none Uk / US car you need to block the unused 2nd O2 sensor hole. I sell plates for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cheers guys Just ordered two crush rings from Mr T Just under 10 quid all in Thanks Chris but it's just a standard Jspec TT cat going onto one of your NA first decats Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 You should use a flat gasket and forget the crush ring. I may have some in stock, if not I can get some in. they are reusable several times. The de cat pipes are not designed to use the crush rings. i have loads of good used ones, but never use them on de cat pipes to cat interfaces.

Scooter Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Matt, I'll have the crush rings if you don't use them. I thought they'd be ok to use on a Cat to Decat joint (appreciate they wouldn't at all on Decat to decat joint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The use of a ring allows the "ears" of the decat flange to pull down and bend. To use a ring you would need to machine a recess in the decat flange similar to the one in the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Would the same apply for the other end when it's coupling up to a whifbitz cat back system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) The use of a ring allows the "ears" of the decat flange to pull down and bend. To use a ring you would need to machine a recess in the decat flange similar to the one in the cat. Ah I see, so it would seal but the decat and cat faces won't be flush/you can't fully 'close the gap' as you clamp it down hence the bending. - - - Updated - - - Would the same apply for the other end when it's coupling up to a whifbitz cat back system Yes afraid so, like I said if you've gone too far to stop the order I'll buy the rings from you.
