Title: 300tdi cat
Post by: davidlandy on April 15, 2006, 19:32:37
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.

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

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
