Exhaust options?
« on: July 12, 2014, 07:54:02 pm »
Alright guys,

Want to free up my exhaust system but cant really afford to change the whole system right now.

I have thought about removing the pre cat and then having a cat removed? Are there any other options without replacing the entire system?
(On an edition 30 by the way)

Cheers
Chris

Twin Scroll K04 are better at keeping EGT's lower than K03 --- K04 can run 280+ bhp Stage 1 without the need of a larger unrestricted DP, check the EGT's running a K03 at anywhere near that power with pre-cat in-place. :scared:

That said, removing the pre-cat can only be a good thing for lowering EGT's on both K04 and K03.

You could look out for a standard system on ebay or on here, and smash out both pre-cat and cat for some extra flow.

As stated getting rid of the pre cat internals is a good cheap move  :happy2:

Cheers guys
Going to get the precat removed and look into simply removing a cat to free it up a tad and get a tiny bit of noise.
how much is a bcs cat back? Anyone got a video of one and how it sounds?

It you want to free it up for performance then just get a 3" downpipe
