Does de-cating your exhaust make any difference to the sound?

 

[Guest]

On a standard Exhaust I would say it doesnt..

But on a aftermarket Exaust depending on model it would make it slightly louder or deeper.. As the cat isnt restricting the Ex gas flow..

 

[Guest]

So, do you think that my aftermarket exhaust on my V6 will now make it sound like a V8?

Also, you can already get the exhaust to 'pop and amp; crackle' do you think without the cat there will be flames to match!

Well I am not an expert on the cars really, but, removing the cat makes for a more free flowing exhaust.. So, your aftermarket one, might make a louder noise, it will also increase your BHP slightly (very slightly).. Removing the cat and de-cating some cars make them spit flames.. Depending on mods really.. All in all its just a slight performance upgrade.. Its worth doing.. But I dont know whether or not it affects your MOT..
I heard on Turbo cars removing the cat has no effect on this, as it will still pass the emisions test, but i aint shure...

Teri,
No flames from an atmo(non-turbo) engine I'm afraid , unless it's tuned like a DTM car. The aftermarket exhaust will increase the volume and change the frequency harmonics of the exhaust sound. So u will have a louder and deeper sound , but still a V6 note.
Which exhaust is it btw ?

Powerflow - already on the car when we got it. Heard that HKS and amp; Blitz do something for it but can't find anyone who really knows! The day everybody that says they will phone and amp; let me know is the day I'm gonna buy all Telecoms shares!!

put the full spec r and down pipe, along with a de-cat and Blitz induction kit. Sounds marvellous. You can even stick a tube in the end when you have a headache.

If it was a landrover evo it would have oil leaks and in need of a rebuild every week and i know thats not the case!

 

[Guest]

Teri,
Wot do u think about the little Jap guy winning the Dakar in a factory Evo Pajero ?

More like - what do I think about Mitsi Pajs walking all over the Dakar with about the first 8 places! The new ones are not Evos now I think they are these new Montero thingys! Still rapid tho.
