Precats

[V8 Animal]

I had one manifold leaking for a while and it's played on my mind whether to have the precats removed at the same time.
Booked it in at RVT to let them do it too worried about broken bolts etc.
Picked it up last night(in the pouring rain)
It is louder but not by much and a better sound not the tinny sound that i had read and worried about.
Engine temp seemed the same and when i got it home lifted the bonnet for a nose round and there was'nt this wave of heat that hit's you when looking under the bonnet after a decent run (130 miles)Engine bay much cooler.
More than happy with my visit they also soften my suspension a bit,Greased some clutch parts which eases the left leg ache,And took some of the stiffness out of the steering.

to RVT
Having the precats removed i see no negatives at this early stage.

We seem to be living parallel lives V8 animal, doing the same stuff at around the same time ! Mines in having the precats removed right now, should be picking it up early next week good to know it doesnt change things too much on the sound front.

aha , there is a disruption in the space/time continuum (spelling?). My respray has been put on hold (was planned mid next year) , instead I will be putting the funds towards a new clutch, new engine oil seal and some work on the outriggers.

Post up a pic of the leven surround when its in, would be interested to see how it looks.
