Sagaris Cat Removal questions?

[cdd]

I am having the Cats removed this week and wondered if i need to do anything else when this is done. i.e. Mapping etc.

[DJC]

No you dont. Are you just having them poked out?

The Dealership is fitting by pass pipes when they do the clutch and slave cylinder this week.

excuse my ignorance - but what effect does this has on the running of the car?

It removes restriction in the exhaust so gives a slight gain in power, and a noticeable increase in exhaust noise! Emissions will be slightly higher, it may be necessary to replace the cats for the MoT when it comes around, unless you can find a friendly MoT'er.

De-catting will increase performance - noticeably. No other work done with mine, running very well. As far as noise goes, depends how you drive it: can be quiet or loud. You'll find out pretty quick - and it is definitely worth it.

Richard - will you be at either battle of the 6s or supercar sunday would be good to have a look at your car and listen to the exhaust 1st hand, something i like to do before taking the plunge

my car has been de-catted, sounds awesome.

[Frik]

What, this one?

[nervous]

yep

[Frik]

It does sound awesome as well. I feel the word is entirely appropriate in this case.

You will notice the noise, I doubt you'll notice anything else. Loss of heat sink is worthwhile.
