I don't think my messages are leaving the outbox at any decent speed...
reply to your message earlier...
Could you take a picture mate.
I am breaking 3.0 at the moment, almost certain it's the 24V.
Nothing in the engine bay has been touched yet.

The gdi must be noisier as I had mind done and I have the original cat which is huge plus a big box and 2 med and its still really loud. I first had it done with a sports cat and just the big box, the noise was unreal. |

I went from standard zaust(dont make em like they used to i can tell you)as 18yr old and at least 2 maybe 3 times as thick as *beep* fit ones.Then as pre 93 had cat took out(made no diff to emissions anyway as always told runs clean yes you read that right So being on the cautious side i went for 2 small boxes at back.It sounds nice on tick over,when booted get a little growl,in no way is it intrusive at all so over last 12 months i have contemplated having 1 taken out,however its on back burner as need time and cba at mo Aslo depends on the pipe diameter too as mine is just 57mm no 62(2.5")this saved me 80-100 quid and makes no difference performance wise on a 2t shogy.With jap zaust being very restrictive(on most jap cars)cat usually eat up 15-20 ponies and then the boxes etc in old zaust too,i would say an easy 20hp more maybe 30.Obv feels norm now,but at time definitely noticed a difference in responsiveness,but 35s etc etc etc etc ...........have brought it back to where it was |

for a eco flow cat that does what its supposed to i went to vortex exhausts cost me 90 quid inc delivery as opposed to Mitsubishi's 1500 +vat an fitting
they also do the stainless down pipes both for just over £100
far cheaper than spending £180 at a local fix it center who i wont name just for one y piece down pipe
there web site is here youll need to ask for prices but they did do next day delivery too

thread resurrection warning
this s interesting as my truck it seems has had a cheapo cat and y pipe fitted which is blowing like mad on the drivers side join to manifold ( hoping manifold is ok )
will defo be chasing those two piece y pipes tomorrow as im led to believe the one piece one thats fitted there is very cheap and unlikely to be a good fit hence the blow that developed driving it home |
