Just wanting to know if the item circled in red in this image is the catylinic converter??? on a first gen 3SGTE



Edit: didn't realise the pic wouldn't work so you can link to see the image here http://www.geocities.com/j_a_w_s_0/images/catques. jpg

Or if you still can't get it, explanation...

Atfer the turbo our have the outlet pipe, then there is a chunky item bolted on between the oulet pipe and the rest of the system, Has a couple of wires out of it, a 3SGTE owner will know what I am talking about... I hope.

Presuming its a similar setup to the Gen2, then yeah thats the *first* cat. There is another one further down the pipe (about under the gearstick).

Most aftermarket dump pipes get rid of this restrictive and VERY heavy item. You can save a good 8kg or more by replacing it.

This is the Gen2:

These are the Aussie Exhaust dump pipes.. much better flow and lots lighter too! http://www.amberaspley.com/gt4/pics/ExhaustDay/dum p_pipes_going_OS.JPG

The "couple of wires" is the heated oxygen sensor.
