Running The MR2 With The Cat' In...
Discussion
MOT time soon, so I've had to bung the bloody cat in.
Took the best part of the whole afternoon but it all came together in the end.
The car actually feels like torque is more evenly distributed across the rev range now, so that's possibly a case for keeping your cat in place if you have a N/A engine.
BUT, despite this, the cat is sapping a hell of alot of power, so whilst acceleration is alot smoother it's also alot slower than before... Which sucks.
And it sounds like absolute shit! Really flat, and really dull, whereas before it sounded positively frightening, and where it used to crackle and pop loud enough to make people jump, it now hisses and occaisionally drops the odd squeaky fart.
I don't care about global warming - I'm gonna start to hate my car if I have to drive it like this for too long.
