Removed my secondary cats.
- Thread starter Ducklakeview
- Start date
Car is definitely more responsive now that the massive flow reducing cats have gone, it actually feels like it's had a remap!

Just come to the shop in it, the "van route" is 6 miles - The Zed route is 16
I love it - There is an underpass 1/4 mile from our shop, I went through it 6 times in both directions :evil:

Bet your neighbours love you!
Not much louder, but different tone, with more rasp, Jag F type noise

Would that be the V6 or the V8 one?!

Yup. Feels like it's been remapped! Can't wait to do my vanos now and get back a bit more power.

One thing I have noticed is extra torque low down. I also noticed that blippling the throttle now well and truly rocks the car from side to side :evil:
Presumably as a result of the extra torque.

Sorry to be a pain.. but I am just curious what welding gear you have? Do you mean mig weld? As I know you have mig and you then say tig? Have you got both? Your workshop is getting as well stocked as mine
Great work if you need any advice on tig ask it's not easy to learn but stick with it it really is better. I wish I had the plasma touch!! One day soon I hope
I felt more torque myself. Obviously don't know how much by measuring it on the dyno but it's noticeable. I also felt a difference after your mod. You can instantly feel it after a remap, not hugely but it's there . It would be interesting to find out how much the increase is all together. My remap was done before the cat delete and your back box mod . They dynoed it at the time for their record's (Top Gear Stockport ) . I wasn't bothered enough to pay 40 quid . Anyway it was 242 bhp . I don't know what it was before. They say they can give you 20 bhp before you get it . I paid 200 quid . But the sprint booster makes the car feel so much more quicker.

Mat, I have a mig an ac/dc tig. I also bought a new plasma last week, it's a stonker, MUCH better than the Chinese one I had which I sold on.
This is the new one on a piece of scrap, I think 1.6mm thick;

How you getting on with TIG? If you need any advice and i can help just ask.
Mat
Sounds great. I've also thought my Coupe need to make a more scary noise. What's the point of the secondary CAT if the primary is doing the work? Is it that the Primary get's it to the level required by MOT and Secondary does a bit more?

Yup. Will still fly through mot with secondaries removed.
