i put a de cat on my disco last week and then the back box fell of and i was stood there thinking "that cat would make an awsome side exit " so i got the angle gringer and welder out and had a go, the only thing i bought was a new grinding disc it cost me nothing to make and about 1 1/2 hours to do, only problem i encountered was i cut the hole and finished the exhaust but it was hitting the body so i had to cut a bigger hole

this was it finished but hole was to small so had to cut this one and finished it off with a rubber strip i actually had left over from my snorkel kit

Brilliant - well done. :D:D

Looks like a boot floor is on the cards soon. :eek:

Watch the heat generated near to the rubber trim. :confused:

boot floor is good only did it 3 months ago but the rot is underneith it, in my defense i only sae it today so yet more welding to do lol i bought a welder when i bought the landrover :fencing:
 
Looks well, nice to see old parts being turned into useful parts... How does it sound with just the center box?

sounds just right little rumble and not nearly at asbo level like most of my mates and you can hear the turbo boosting much better wich is cool
 
Just make sure you get the cat weighed in and DON'T throw it away!! :D

£22.50 thank you very much mr scrap man that paid for my de cat so in essance i got a de cat and side exit completley free all i paid for was the wire for my welder. and the welder has paid for its self 100 times over so the rule of the universe everything for the next ten years if absolutley free :eek: at least thats what i have explained to the mrs as to why ive bought so much **** haha
