Its been happening since the dawn of cars.
Saw it on a discovery channel special on Ford 
When the current PM Banned all cars being imported from the USA (Ford) another company formed which took all existing Ford chassis and parts and built them and rebadged them into holdens. At the time it was legal to build your own car but illegal to have one imported from overseas... |

I'm about to have Pacemaker Competition's fitted, the guy siad he can do a hi flow cat for $200.00 - just to give you an idea on the price the exhaust shops are charging. I've also seen them on eBay.com.au.
NOCLAF wrote: yeh... when u think about it why wouldnt the manufacture use a hi flow cat if they were so much better.. i rekn hi flow cats are a bit of a suck in and they arnt cheap either
If you going to use that logic, you can then say why don't maufacturers use extractors if there so much better than exhaust manifolds or why don't they use the Wade Stage 2 cam? manufacturers don't necessarily use the parts that are going to give the best engine performance, I mean if they did, then the Falcons would be comming out of the factory with IPS and JMM spec engines... |
