Embarasing Exhaust !

[rowhard]

Im planning to ditch mine soon and put in a straight pipe instead, Regulations over here dont require one

Sprey, not saying don't do it, but if it is the same as the american spec, you will have 02 sensors front and rear of cat and ECM might get confused, but I'm guessing

Ldub, you crack me up

C-rocket, found this on another subject. http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...&highlight=egr. Go to the last thread by Joe Todoroff. Not sure if this is any help, cheers

I had embarassing exhaust once...

Then I found a petrol additive at Summit Racing that makes my tailpipe smell like grape jelly, or cherries, or even pini'a colada...:_drool:

Problem sol-ved...

You serious :O Lol you might get people sniffing your exhaust :S Ha

well, without the converter doing whatever the hell it does, that might be a exercise in futility, but again, I am WAG'ing:bgwg:

Ok I finaly decided to have a look last at the Cat last monday. And to my surprise No sensors! Just the cat it self.
So i booked it in at a local car shop that i had do exhaust work on my old celica.

Took it down this morning and got the cat taken out and replaced with a pipe.

So far. Its a tad louder. More exhaust tone that droney loudness you get with say a less baffled muffler.
Quite happy i did the mod.

Heres the Cat before it got taken out.

And with the new pipe inplace and the cat gone!.

I too have had embarassing exhaust. However it has gotten better by using the additive Gas-X, pretty much a purr at lower speeds and a howl at top end. Have noticed some loss of power and torque though.

I'm no stranger to that top end holw, more raw vegitables & grain will help with torque loss...

Yes, serious is my middle name...
