okay, its THAT time. i have to do something to it. its just sitting there. looking at me. unmodified. brimming with malevolence. and, frankly looking a bit grubby.

but i cant clean it, that would b watsing valuable time and my hands would get cold. so, OBVIOUSLY, the logical thing to do is get myself a decat. you see, you can justify anything with the promise of non-cold hands. anyone know the best place to get one/ a pair?(is there one or two cats? im guessing two, but i take nothing for granted now im a TVR owner. Remember gang, i am an imposter cos im cerbera driver but i have the speed 6 engine which means none of the bigger boys on the cerb forum can help with decat places. so, any thoughts? other than rude ones?

id really appreciate your help, wot the heck, ill get the winning post-er a wham bar and a packet of foamy frogs. now, tell me youve had a better offer than that recently...

best wishes,
nervous.

oh, bugger. pennisular dont seem to sell 'em anymore. got any other ideas, anyone?

and, are they great alan? im really hoping it'll drown out the sound of my bank account diminishing (since TVR ownership its been making that sucking noise like the last bath water out of the plug hole).

is it my turn to buy them now then? now? what about now? cmon, youve had youre turn.

Sorry I've gone a bit deaf
I had a Cerb, decat and sports pipes (4.5) and the S6 is louder.

Power do em I think for about 250 quid... so I was told anyway.

all they are though is a cat with not cat in it really... so if you were sure you didn't want your cars again all you need is a hammer to knock out the honeycomb....

Agreed, this little mod with sleeved cans sounds as good, and louder than CC(independantly verified ) and cost`s next to nothing

erm... sleeved cans? is that a sexual thing? bit worried now, can someone explain this?

so just drop the middle section, remove the interior of the box and put it back together? remember, mines a cerb.. does that make a difference? (all jokes to be inserted here)

thanks gang,

oh, do'h. im gaining a huge amount of mixed mesages here. if you do a search everyone whose done a decat says 'go for it' (possibly in a mock american accent, cant be sure, theres no emoticon for that), yet a lot of you good folk are saying 'divvant bother like' (insert geordie accent emoticon here). so what to do?

im more than happy with the power, dont really wanna lose any thats for sure. my two main reasons for this change are improving the noise (ie INCREASING the noise) and benefiting from the supposed better throttle response (actually, now i think about it thats really one reason and one p*ss-poor excuse, but you get my point)(even in these trousers).

so what to do for the best? new sports exhaust thingies? if so which ones?

or do i do the thing where i remove the wadding from the centre section as someone else suggested?

your thoughts on this burning issue would be greatly appreciated.

pip-pip,
N.

p.s ill even up the ante and throw in a partly used curly whirly and a box of twiglets (unused, obviously)

p.p.s i have just put this bit up on another post too, does this make me A) overkeen B) a bad person C) most uncouth or D) all of the above?

are they the same as those on the cerb then? if so, id be happy to have em off ya. mail me and well talk turkey (im assuming you take turkey as an acceptable form of payment? its the norfolk way doncha know)

thanks matey,

Matt, probably the good news is they are not the same. Shame, it would be nice for someone to get the "benefit" from them.

Cheers
