    Exhaust information

    The pre-cat reduces emissions at low temperatures and the main cat reduces emissions at higher temperatures. So not much point as the engine gets to normal operating temperature quite quick. I am tempted to tear out the contents of the pre-cat. The contents is very brittle so in time can break...

    Exhaust information

    There is only one cat. You can remove the pre-cat or the center silencer. You will more than likely need a remap after removing the pre-cat though.

    Another cracked manifold. Powerflex bush now fitted

    You will definitely notice a difference in the engine noise, more so in second gear when accelerating, it's like a tappet noise. Get a mirror and a torch or a camera to get a look at the manifold. If there is a crack you should see a white outline around the crack and then beyond that you will...

    Another cracked manifold. Powerflex bush now fitted

    I had the dreaded tappet/blowing noise, couldn't really tell with the power and seemed to be running ok. The only thing I noticed was the mpg had dropped slightly. Looked at the manifold with a mirror and torch to see soot around pipe 4. Quoted £1300-1400 at Renault. Decided to do the work...
