The Truth about De-cats IMHO

[TVR SLag's BiL]

Well, I have had the honour of using the Cerb for a week or so now. Its a 97 4.2 de-cat with sports pipes. I have had loads of people telling me that the car sounds fantastic. I think it sounds like a F3000 car i worked on! Mybe something to do with the flat crank, same as the Cosworth DFV?

I am sure the car has more power, more responsive as well. When you are not mashing the right hand pedal its very quiet and great on the M way's. The down side is it use's more fuel!

Anyway to get to the point I have Video of the car from a standing start and on the over-run, just need to figure out how to get it on the net!

Would be nice for the BiL to get back from his hols and see his car on the net having the T*TS thrashed out of it!

Well is my job! TEST PILOT!!!

I can confirm that the de-cat makes the car so much more angry! I love it!

what have you got then?

How about just channeling the exhaust out of side exhausts near the front straight from cats to short pipes... you'd get the sound and maybe more power?

no animals were harmed during the making of this movie. All speeds are well within the NSL and if it looks quicker its a camera trick. The volume of the exhaust is well within legal limits and any volume over this limit was acheived with mirrors.
