4/6 de-catt!

have any of you guys removed your catts from your petrol V8, 4.6 to be exact? im haveing mine removed tomorrow, and im looking forward to how it will drive and sound!! and the good thing is the cost of the job isnt much more that much more that the value of the old cats!!!

il let you know how i get on...............

its done, and for £100! sounds marvelous but suprisingly quiet on a run!



bear in mind the cheap cam and mrs redrange holding it right by the tail pipes its a bit raspey!

Loved the pan to the other car..

Wasnt the missus car was it

Sounds nice by the way.. How did it drive afterwards?

you guessed it, yes mrs redrange's 216! and it drove very nice, i dont know the gain hp wise but there must be one and it does feel a little friskier than before, if nothing else i love the sound!
the little vid does it no justice, it realy needs to be heard in the flesh, or a decent recording! lol.

either way im very happy!

Sounds great, and I want to de-cat mine now!

I did de-cat a Saab 9000 3.0V6 a few years ago and it flew afterwards and sounded awesome!

My RR Vogue is a 2001 model, is it legal to remove the catalysts?.......

i think you dont need cats for mot if its on LPG

glad its better - but those tail pipes look a bit ropey - like a couple of scaffold tubes - but suppose in real life htey may look better

scafold tubes!!!!!!!!!!!!, in fact i agree! i got a stainless twin pipe from burtons for it and then fitted larger trims over it as it wasnt very large diameter, im not happy with it at all!
the origonal was 2.5 inch rolled stainless which i cut off, dam!! wish i left it. it was made by steve parker land rover, the whole rear section BUT no box

gona get the oval tail pipe for it soon.

and the mot tester did a non cat test as its on lpg
