Cat Delete Pipes

[Lakelord]

Have just been on to Piper for a quote for some Cat Delete pipes for my Roush exhaust and they are coming back at just over £300 (inc Vat & Carriage) for the Ceramic coated ones. As such, was wondering if anyone out there had a set cluttering up their garage that they wanted to sell on?

Apart from any track type work. Generally if they're replacing some good 100/200 cell cats they produce approximately zero percent more horsepower.

Not if you're trying to use the car on a track day. Lakelord - didn't you get cat bypass pipes with your Roush exhaust? I've got a pair, never used, if you want to e-mail me with a sensible offer.

I would agree with this!!
Did a day at Bedford in November and registered 100.9db on the static test.
Just got in by the skin of my teeth!!
Roush exhaust with cats.

Roush exhaust, no cats, set of lairy cams = 110db@4200rpm, bit to loud.

OK.. so I'm having a re-think about this now.

Does anyone know what Roush shipped as standard for their cats? Is it the 100/200 cell ones that Phil refers to? Was assuming there was a benefit as the Noble FAQ WIKI thing shows a comparison of CATS v No CATS delivers another 10 BHP?

Rob, can you confirm whether ceramic coated or not please and I'll have a think? Thanks

Roush originally did provide CAT replacement pipes as standard. When I bought my exhaust last summer they had stopped. I had an email saying they were included and they honoured the email. I too therefore also have a set of unused pipes

[RobP]

Yes - the pipes are ceramic coated; the cats are 100 cell racing so as Phil said there is little difference in power, with or without. Also remember that technically your car is illegal on the road without cat converters which may also compromise your insurance; the noise levels will increase sans cats, severely reducing the number of tracks you can drive on, and finally, you will have to re-insert the cats for an MoT.
Great salesman, aren't I?

Not worth it - you are in the car; you cannot see the flames.

(but very happy to sell them to you!)
