Removing Front Pipe Cats

[DaveEllen]

Mark also de catted the front pipes and I can report its well worth it the car feels quicker & the exhaust nore has deepened a bit.....

They restrict the exhaust quite a lot.........

[Chris.S]

Already had mine done at TTE :D :D

[Bazza-old]

what sort of price we looking at to do ?

[DaveEllen]

Think Mark said it was 4 hours labour (dont quote me) He's putting details on the TDi website with normal Gold discounts.

I'd say definately get it done ! (unless you are looking at getting a manifold which will not have them anyway)

take it there is no impact on MOTable Emmsions?

Well isn't this a coincidence

Was about to start a topic along the lines of ....

If you have the compressor kit then DO gut your pre-cats.

One of mine is broken up and wedged in a bend in the downpipe.

A rolling road test showed about 30hp power loss as a result

Can't see a way to be sure it's all gutted without cutting the canisters open.

So, that's what i'll be seeing about - Open'm'up, remove contents, weld'm'shut.

Now I need to find a downpipe with good pre-cats to complete rolling road tests
