Now I'm from New Zealand and we arn't so dam eco friendly and we don't have restrictions on having a cat (so I'm told (correct me if I'm wrong)).Basically if I were to cut it out and replace with a straight throught pipe from the dump to my center muffler (which is also a straight throught pipe) would it cause any problems ... I read some where that'd I'd need a custom tune getting off topic but how much would 1 set me back.. in NZD remember.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47530-removal-of-cat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you want really. Just ring up a couple of places near you and have a chat!

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 12/07/08 05:45 AM Share Posted 12/07/08 05:45 AM I had my cat gutted for a few days last week. f*ck me it made a massive difference to the throttle response and spooling! It didn't overboost really unless you floored it in 5th for ages, but in the first few gears it stayed within the limits. The exhaust note went raspy and barked a little, so I got a 3.5" MetalCat fitted. Much better Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47530-removal-of-cat/#findComment-704641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
