16v decat on RT

[Essex_Lad]

Will this work as i might be buyin one off someone! i looked on k-tec and they seem to only have the one size

 

[pete bann]

dont see why not unless the cat is slightly larger on the valver to accomodate the larger volume of exhaust fumes due to bigger engine?

calling benr............

 

[clean16v]

the mongoose full system currently on my valver/williams is off my old RT, the whole exhust is identical although when i had my williams engine put in they had to mess with my de-cat. the 16v de-cat will fit the RT

good good, does it make a lot of difference in sound and performance, i got a K&N and Peco back box at the mo!

 

[pete bann]

have a look at the what price for my scorpion de-cat blah blah post mate cos ive got a K-tec de-cat pipe, brand spanking at home.

 

[clean16v]

makes a whole load of noise on an RT, wathc out for flames as well! it will feel like it has made a big difference to performance also. i loved my RT because of it breathing mods, it sounded mental! cane 2nd gear and when the revs are high come off throttle then gently tap it and listen to the loud bangs the exhaust makes and the flames! bnest dont when zorst is hot though

 

[Essex_Lad]

i heard some kick out flames, sweet! cant wait to get one!

jus a thought how does a car back fire (when the exhaust pops) wot causes it?

 

[clean16v]

here we go.......there was a massive post about this not long ago, when you back off throttle at high revs the car still puts air and fuel throught the block but doesnt burn it and when it reaches the hot exhaust BANG! i think

 

[Essex_Lad]

oh right, lol!

thanx

I.... my 1400 gives my endless pleasure with the pop bangs and flames.

afaik the 16v de-cat WONT fit the RT, but as ive never tried fitting one personally i cant comment from experience, however the 16v system is a larger bore than the RT system....

 

[Essex_Lad]

y do k-tec only have one de-cat for all! i betta call k-tec and find out!

 

[Essex_Lad]

a 16v de-cat pipe will fit an RT jus asked k-tec!

 

[BRUN]

well there you go then !....

is it the 16v and Williams ones that are different ?

 

[Essex_Lad]

im guessin there the same if k-tec only do one! but i could be wrong! if ne thing the williams might be bigger coz its a 2L

 

[BRUN]

im certain one of them is different, i was certain it was the 16v one.....ah well

 

[Essex_Lad]

im jus thinkin of how loud this is gonna make my car! can it really make that much difference!

 

[Essex_Lad]

if i get pulled by 5 0 wit the de-cat on is it illegal? can i get points/fine?

 

[clean16v]

you shouldnt get in any trouble because it is very hard for them to do on the spot emmision tests(the only thing they can do you for).

BRUN, the williams de-cat is different, i had my 16v de-cat chopped up to accomodate williams manifold and down pipe

 

[Essex_Lad]

stupid question, if my car passes its MOT wit the de-cat on does it make it perfectly legal or does it have to have a CAT!
