Hi guy's
I have read an advert somewhere that had a pipe that replaced centre box on exhaust but am struggling to find it again. Not sure if it was for Tdi or V8. Is there such a pipe???
 
Hi, just thought I would share my observations;

I have removed the Catalytic converter from my 300Tdi, they made some from the factory without, and a front pipe is available without the Cat in it, I think this will fit to the standard system. Didnt know this at the time, so I cut mine out and welded in a piece of straight pipe. Seems to help with power in the lower revs.

At a later date I made a mid box replacment straight through pipe, with this fitted the noise inside and out was horrendous, I soon replaced the mid box.

I would tend to be a little cautious about replacing the mid box with a straight pipe. With the Cat out it has a little more growl without being intrusive. Not sure exactly on the technicalities of removing the Cat on a diesel, but mine still passes the MOT without it fitted.

Hope thats of some help for you.

thanks for the info will look into this one a bit more deeply i have damaged middle box several times when off roading, but managed to repair for mot! will have a look at paddocks as have the disco has its name on it!!!!!!!!!!:)
 
i asked the guy who does my mot who is a landy nut himself if he would pass it without the cat fitted and he said no, unless it came out of the factory without a cat fitted as standard it should not pass an mot
 
Hello

I fitted a stainless sports systemto my 200tdi which removed the centre box I recomend this to all.The disco now has a nice raspy sound and you can notice the difference in performance ( but be realistic it is a heavy old beast) I get around 32mpg and it is useful off road with a bit extra low down torque.

This info is Wrong.It only applies to petrol engines.You can take the cat out of a 300 tdi and still pass MOT.Mine did :D
 
Yeah mine passed an MOT without the cat on aswell its not a legal requirement on diesels. And i have a middle box replacement pipe and back box on its way from paddock for £41!
