Hello all,

Just had the cats removed from the Cerb.

It now sounds awesome (even more so). When accelerating hard the noise is just superb - not to mention a torrent of machine gun fire on the overrun.

Best £100 I've spent in a while.

Hello,

I have noticed that the car accelerates more smoothly and tends not to kangaroo as much at 30mph. The throttle response seems slightly crisper as well.

From what I have read an ECU remap is required to experience any real power increases from the change. This is something I shall look into in more depth quite soon.

I don't get out much to MK or Dunstable so do not know of this road. You will have to show me soon Animal.

I can recommend that if you should remove your cats - do not leave them laying about or you will stub your toe on them like I just did.

I managed to set off a neighbours car alarm with the mother of all pops/bangs.

I had heard that aligning them could be a bit hit and miss - so I got Offord to do it. Took about 40mins in total.

Hello,

Yes, it is quite a lot louder. Mainly when you are accelerating. I should imagine a sports exhaust with no cats would sound far too loud.

Stright pipes were used.

Got it done at Offord.

Pipes were £55 each and a half hour labour on top.
