de cat 400. will it make a big diferance?

[mwg123]

On my 3rd chim now! and the new one is the first i've had with a cat. It drives very well indeed but doesn't sound as "raw" or as nice as the last two i have had. Will this be down to the cat? All have been 400's first was a 95 N second a 94 L and this one is a 96 P.

Any help or advise would be great.

Many Thanks

Matt

are you sure your 95 N reg never had a cat????...i'd be surprised if it didn't.

[mwg123]

not 100% so you may be right. Never had to MOT it so i wouldn't know for sure, but i was sure it had a de cat pipe and i just asumed because of the noise diferance. What are your thoughts?

Many Thanks

My 95 had a cat but much louder then my 98 500

Are you sure your 95 didn't just have a sleeved exhaust?

Exhaust has been played with i'd expect. I've got a 94 M and its def got a CAT as standard. In fact i believe all Chim's had CATs. Thats why you hear the term pre-cat Griff and never hear pre-cat Chim. Believe 93 was the year they made CATs compulsory for all cars???

Maybe wrong so stand to be corrected
