wut problems did u have skyline? and razram the magnaflow is the best but if you do not want to spend the money just gut the cat. knock the platinum and sh*t out of it with a pipe and weld it back on. i've been running my truck without a cat for many years and it sounds and runs great. only light i get is an occasional one for egr circuit that it had before the cat came off. of course my truck is a 95 so its obd1.

i wouldnt remove it just get a high flow cat as stated. In my 01 318 i was getting the exhaust done and there was a sale on the cats so i went ahead and got one put on it. Its a high flow Magnaflow with flowmaster 40 series and turn downs. Awesome sound and love the flow of it. didnt really gain much hp that i know of but it does sound like it lol ha. just a thought man.

Magna Flow sells the cat both ways. You just cut the old one off in the right spot and clamp or weld the new one on. Or you can buy the complete Y-pipe and cat direct replacement.

Got sick of yelling to my passengers just to have a conversation.
My friends/family/coworkers could all hear me coming from 2 miles out or better, just too
annoying with no benefits.
