                You should just get a proper high flow cat eventually... minimal power loss and it'll make it quieter again.

                  That is the theory that my friend has. He did own 6. All 4 door gt's including mine. As of now he has 2 dailys and 1 race car. All 4 door gt's with power windows and glass top roofs. And one that is modded out to be similar to the jdm version that bastard

GTX/GT?
                    I own a gt. She is finally broken in. 1000 miles has finally come and its running pretty good. I do have a question though. Will the non turbo pistons from the capri fit on the turbo rods. My friend wants to build a motor with those pistons just to see how it does

                        wow, Ninja'd!

                        B6T rods should fit the B6 DOHC Pistons. I havnt seen anything that says they cant, but I havnt tried it first hand. I wouldnt rely on boosting it too much with those pistons, unless the engine is built up, even then, non forged pistons shouldnt go into a built motor either. All they will do is raise the compression ratio.
