quote: is it a cat back system? ie clamps onto the rear of the cat and goes over rear axel to meet the backbox? What kind of quality is it? cos i paid £60 (this was the cheapest i found it) for a mild steel one from a local exhaust place (like kwik-fit) | |

PVD do a stainless steel straight through centre section for 60 quid. Surely an easier option? :) | |

I took mine out cos it kept scraping on speed bumps! It was either that or wait for the whole exhaust to be ripped off. Sounds louder but not too loud but mines is only a tiddler (12v - feel the power! :lol:) I've got Sebring straight thru c/s & b/box and it sounds sweet, it almost sounds fast! :lol: Nearly failed the mot cos the guy was struggling to get the emissions to drop quick enuf, c/box acts as an aux cat apparently, passed though. | |

I been told by an Exhaust guru (if ya need proof i got it) that if you remove the centre section you can lose power. If you keep the cat you can get rid of it, if you remove the cat - keep it! | |

To clamp it you would need a bit of pipe that is the thickness of the metal bigger than the pipe so it can be slid over....... | |

THink he was jus talking bout removing centre silencer, which will be okay for MOT rather than a de-cat (which wouldnt be). | |

if ur car has a cat as standard and u weld the straight thro in then the car will not pass an mot, ur better off clampin and gumming it so that u can just swap it and clean up the cat 4 the MOT! if ur removing centre box and cat then u can expect power gains 2! just make sure she dnt start blowing.. best way i found 2 check was 2 get a mate 2 stick their hand over the back pipes while the engine runs idle and u can here the fumes exiting thro the holes, switch off the engine and gumm it up! | |

Yeah, get a piece of pipe the same length as what you cut out, you can get clamps that are like a short piece of pipe say 8" long with a clamp each end, get a couple of those to hold it in if you can't weld it. | |

I dont have no stereo at the moment as it's all been knicked (again) and I cant stand listenin to music anyway (that's a lie but i tell myself that so i dont end up gettin another one knicked) anyway whats the best way to do this as I'm a tight c**t....cut the silencer out and clap a straight pipe in the middle...would that be quite a cheap way of doin it? |
