300tdi cat

[davidlandy]

got rid of my catalytic convertor and fitted a straight thru exhaust pipe front section.

what a difference it has made....it pulls like a train from low revs now. just gotta get rid of the EGR now.

fingers crossed for MOT time , otherwise the old pipe has to go back on.

its not a cat & 300's came as standard without it,building a 300 tdi 90 just now & it had egr but no "cat" just straight front pipe

My 300tdi has a cat..........  Well it aint a cat is it just some particle collecting thingy, i'll dump it eventually.  Mines a P reg

What did you use instead of the piece you took out, I'm thinking of doing the same to my TD.

Mikey , are you really sure about this?

..I thought that all 300tdis from a certain year had them fitted.  

It certainley looks like one to me

ok maybe i used that as a bit 2 much of a general term,300's to start off with came with nowt,straight dection of pipe & away you go,as the years progressed different specs had them & around 96 onwards it had all the crap stuck to it to make it cleaner,

to make it go better buy an early front pipe & roberts your mothers brother

as jimwillly said its a particle collecter so after a while it will become clogged with soot thus choking the engine
