HI all

Just spent the last 2 days knocking the pre-cats out. What a faff.

As I'm going to be running a clive-f decat y-piece do I need to make sure all the last little bits are cleaned out ? With no main cat there shouldn't be anything for them to block up ? Surely they will just blow out on start up ?

The manifolds are off the car and it isn't nearly ready to be run yet so I can't blow it all out that way. Will also be running the standard silencer if that makes a difference.

I've cleaned out as much as I can but there a couple of really small pieces that I can feel when getting my hand in the manifold, but I don't have the leverage to remove them.

Also filled them with water to check for leaks and nothing so very pleased with that biggrin

Can I get away with leaving the last few pieces ?

Edit: Just to be clear, these really are very small, tiny little scraps of cat. Not largish bits al all.
