Cat vs Decat (videos) K-Tec :)

[chrispy.clio]

Sounds schweet without the cat mate! I'm loving that!

 

[JD]

as is usually the case, decat sounds raspier. if there is such a word. depends on personal taste noise wise, but decats are meant to give you a couple of bhp and torque gains, not sound better/worse.

Cheers Zippo

R8 FWT! Yeah the power increase was one of the main reasons for doing it. Also i cant get off my drive as the cat is fatter so it catches

 

[Jamie]

Love the sound of it without tbh. Shame they cant be quiet for m-way use.

 

[chrispy.clio]

I find its only unbearable on the motorway when the interiour is stripped out. I had it stripped out for my trackday last week and i didnt put it back in time for work on monday and all week driving was horrific.

I like the way you drove on that track day tbh.

Car doesn't sound too loud at all.

 

[DMS]

Both sound nice TBH, but I think I prefer the decat noise.

 

[slevin]

sounds alot better without the cat in my opinion

 

[st3ve]

Sounds mint inside the car but I personally would prefer a slightly lower tone tbh.

What was your mate saying about extra revs at about 3:50?

 

[scott1205]

i luv the decat noice car looks very nice going round the track

 

[Russy B]

sounds like a rally car decatted!!!

When we were in his Williams (Video coming soon) he was hitting his limiter on that straight and he had to change to 5th for 1.5 seconds but as soon as he had he was then on the brakes and changing down. I had more revs so i could stay in 4th and then step on the anchors.
I only had 500-700 rmp more but it makes the difference.

The crackle is the raspy bit that some people like and some dont. Is that what you mean?

 

[GarethM]

sounds awesome without the cat
