Is the seller someone off here?

Would a chip and exhaust with no cat be as good??

5bhp gain if you were lucky, you have to spend £££ to get big gains on the F4R 172/182 engine

you can map them to be quite economical and totally emissions clean. The current car im doing on ITBS with no cat is possibly the cleanest burning car ive ever seen. Co% of 0.3 and HC of 135!!!!!

 

[Jay@auto-mods]

so there NO good then at all? and whats the diffrence from other TBs?

as im saving at the mo for a TBed 172 from BenR!!

 

[BenR]

not that they arent any good, just DCOE based flanges (not straight shot), those types of filters, tiny inlet tract length etc all add up to an inferioir setup.

Its just my opinion that if your going to go through all that trouble then it might as well be done once, properly and to the best benefit of the engine.

no, no, no....

if it says it there then of course it will..

just like mazpower figures are always correct...
