Glowing Pre Cats

[TheDon]

well i have fitted my SC induction kit and airbox now and love the power.

only thing is last night when i had a little looksy after a drive i could see an orangy glow coming from within the pre-cat case. just where the gap is. is it always like this? or am i just noticeing it because i have no airbox there?

please help as am kinda concerned

dont know about the cat mate, is the induction all ok ? sound ok ? look ok?

[Bazza]

get them taken out

or get a new manifold

unleash a bit more power

How hard were you driving it? I drive hard and I've never noticed this, but to be honest I've never looked! I'd guess it may be normal as the temperatures will be incredible going through the manifold, but it might be worth getting it checked to see if somethings broken down and is blocking the pipes?

dont worry about it

Zee's got an exhaust gas temperature guage in his car. I'm sure he said it runs at around 700 degrees C.

:o

That's hotter than my **** after a chicken pall :P

No wonder the pipework goes orange

i feel a bit better now knowing that it gets to 700 degs as thats enuf to make anything glow!!!

sounds great, feels great and most importantly looks great. trying to find energy to run the wire for the oil temp gauge!! might be lazy n just run boost gauge!
