Turbo kits with catted header - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Are there any turbo kits out there that have this option?

I know PTuning and Works turbo kits let you use whatever header you want since it connects at the OP location

Same with P&L, the have a kit that let's you use their header, and you can get their header catted.

The Blitz turbo kit. But I see you live in Washington, we don't do emissions for our cars so not sure why you'd want a cat it just yields less power.

Thanks guys!! I guess I just assumed that if you got a turbo kit you were stuck with their header. Very interesting!!

No cat = stinky

It's not convenient but I would put the cat after the turbo, especially if it's the oe cat or anything less than an hjs or equivalent quality.

Just get a catted front pipe or keep your stock front pipe

Just weighing my options at this point. I couldn't even stand a non-catted UEL...

I am leaning more towards a supercharger.

Never go full catted...

If you stick with a turbo plan, also consider this:

Fujitsubo front pipe w/ cat and large resonator, so you can run whatever setup you want without worries about sound.

Let us know if you have any specific questions. We've installed quite a few kits with fully catted exhausts systems.

The cat on the header is a precat, designed to warm up the main cat I thought. I believe emissions will rise after precat removal but mostly initially. Once the main cat reaches sufficient temps to work, the lack of a precat might be minimal. I could be wrong.
