[poundrick]

People Im having a custom powerflow system fitted on Thursday will I see any improvements by removing the cat.

Thanks.

 

[McBunny]

in a word yes and a huge noise one

 

[poundrick]

Cheers Dog

 

[McBunny]

no worries mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

DONT RUIN YOUR CAR BY TAKING IT TO POWERFLOW!!!!!!!! OR THAT SHOULD BE NOPOWERATALLFLOW!!!!!!!

BUT A K-TEC OR A SUPERSPRINT!!!!

Yeah, agree with Fred on this one.

Not all powerflow dealers are that bad, but most are awful!

Bloke next door to my work got one done, and later found out there were 11 (yes I did say eleven) holes in it when he got it home!

Get a K-Tec

 

[poundrick]

Cheers people, the only reason I wanted to use Powerflow is the fact they custom design the system for you, just choose your tailpipe design and the exit position and they make it for your car, have any of you any other recomendations of places to get the same done.

Why will removing the cat produce an increasse in exhaust noise?, I thought it just lessened the emmissions? is a cat responsible for noise control as well?

 

[McBunny]

yup it is a baffle it slows the gas down and absorbs some of the noise

Luckily the one in Burnley (handy for Poundrick) is a very good place...

Chris n nic had a zorst made for his Cup there and hes running a 14.1s 1/4 mile now, so it must be a decent system!

See the theme developing here.

Powerflow arent as good as a decent pre built exhaust vendor

The powerflow dealership in bromley are very good, took 3 hours to fit to my m8s car but well worth it and was fitted and wielded really well, exhaust doesnt even move a bit proper sturdy and such a good fit.

Thats custom jobs for ya, still wouldnt get rid of my ktec for one, powerflow are still too expensive, a full system de-cat, 4.5inch slashcut cost him £360!

Does sound better than mine tho

 

[poundrick]

Cheers people, had the work done yesterday decided to leave the Cat in place as advised by Top Gear, for the .5 gain in performance its not worth the hassle come MOT time getting the damn thing back on, plus he said the car would be really loud and boomy while on the motorway

 

[McBunny]

i can confirm that

So go for the K-Tec sports cat then mate!

Proven gains on the rollers and perfectly road legal, so no problems come MOT time...

 

[poundrick]
