De-cat

[TVRED]

Can anyone tell me the increase in bhp etc after having the cats removed from my cerbera apart from being noiser (love it) and having flames come out of the exhaust when i change gear at hight revs. cheers

Yep, but that is a really difficult question to answer, once you factor in all the different airflow equations, back pressure requirements, different materials etc...

It's a complex equation and it's taken a long while to work out but the answer is...



Zero.



Hope that helps

The std decats release maybe 5bhp at best over fully functioning cats. they sound great tho and protect ur cats for mot time

and most likely reduced temperatures in the transmission tunnel area which does not do your gearbox seals and starter motor a lot of favours in my opinion.

Well spotted that man, of course what I thought I was typing originally was:
"and most likely reduced temperatures in the transmission tunnel, which has got to be a good thing as the heat down there sure don't do your gearbox seals and starter motor a lot of favours in my opinion"
