exhaust system

[Tindoccat]

okies guys i want to get an exhaust system but am faced with budgeting problems want a full system for under

[rigsby]

start by getting an old cat from the scrappy and knocking the guts out of it. this coupled with a good air filter to improve breathing will add more bhp than an off the shelf "performance" exhaust

cheers steve

thats what i'v done, de-cat and induction.

does make it more responsive.

have a look at the laser back box, i'm thinking of taking the center box out, and just running the laser back box

[harryhill]

If you have decatted it how does it get through emissions at MOT?

[pinkskud]

put the original un touched cat back in!

[harryhill]

i'll live with a few less BHP!!

[pinkskud]

i dont run a cat on moral grounds. it makes the engine work harder and burn more fuel, there for more pollution. the % might be less but the total volume of exhaust is more. i dont know the fine details but me old man does, and he said some thing about a cat takes out one gas, and replaces it with one thats just as harmfully.

cant get an of the shelf de-cat for the felly. and if like me you have a 1.6 the cat is part of the lower manifold.

bit of a pain but now i have one with a cat, and one without.

[Tindoccat]

Yeah spoke to them on the phone today and gonna go over there tommorow as going to tides,

its ok i will find it , cant be that hard to find. Thanks for the offer though but my mum always said never speak to men in strange cars or was it strange men in cars? haha

hopefully should get a good deal ;-)

[rigsby]

you could do like me and get rid of the backbox and replace it with a 3" bore piece of stainless pipe. its not to loud if you keep it bellow 3000rpm

[Tindoccat]

possibly a idea, can that be done with the centre box, just take that away and do the same, whats the centre box for anyway?

[Felicia racer]

hahaha

yes im very strange.

I thought you'd say that anyway. It was expected!

Lewis who's me quite well, so he may ask if u know me.

Im Chris if he asks.

[pinkskud]

what i'm doing is getting used parts from cars dismantled by skospares.com for all your skospares and then chopping them about to make a free flowing exhaust.

i'v allready done the cat. and now i'm working on the center box.

[Tindoccat]

well went there today and have booked myself in to get a scorpian exhaust which they will customise to fit for my car, gonna cost

[Felicia racer]

cool.

just a wierd question is his leg out of plaster yet?

[Tindoccat]

Ok i have had a look about and seen this

Performance Stainless Exhaust Back Boxes. Universal on eBay Exhaust Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (item 8052534779 end time 23-Aug-07 15:21:06 BST)

looks good for the money and various options of sizes ect..

for performance outline POLY-Zhaust BENEFITS looks good am i right in thinking this may be a decent universal exhaust?

It apparently has one international awards ?

below is the advertised diagrams on the ebay page but am totally unsure which model would suit my felicia i would like the twin exhaust one but not sure on what model size?

[poorly_felicia]

i may be wrong but i do not think a CAT is actually a requirement for cars of a certain age, reglardless of if they had one from factory or not. I think 1999 is the maximum year of manufacture you can permantly de-cat.

as long at it passes emmisions either way i dont see the problem here?????

will need to check this because i would like to do mine .
