Expensive morning for the LY (and life in general!!!)

[Benno]

Just get a non-res and hoon around small villages

I think me and you will get on well..

 

[Beany]

Honestly if she wasn’t my daily I’d stick me non-res section back on

You coming to Grantham next month? If so, PLEASE put it on for that, I fancy a hoon before the meal.

I am yes... but I’d be deaf by the time I’d turn up, especially with the decat

Same spec as mine then? Scorpion res with decat? You running standard manifold?

 

[Pav]

it does get droney...mine was doing my head in around 70mph..

Yeah exactly the same. Stock mani

Yeah, mine is loud enough resonated on the motorway tbf...

Yeah exactly the same. Stock mani

Can't beat it if you ask me!! Great tone to it, the noise it made at Engine Dynamics when the map went on was just unbelievable..got to find myself a test pilot at Grantham so I can actually listen to it from outside!

Yeah it’s loud but manageable

Lol yeah I alway wonder what it sounds like externally

 

[RossWoods93]

If I don’t get mine fixed, then at least I have the chance at being the loudest!

Probably not the right side of loud though! lol

Slightly technical question:

If I was to go with a KTEC manifold (of which removes the pre-cat), and I also had a cat-back exhaust fitted. Would the car even have a cat fitted...? (might sound a stupid question!)

No judgement on my lack of engineering knowledge just thinking out loud and making sure it'd get through an MOT...

Yes you'd still have the main cat in place.

Manifold of which contains a pre cat > Main cat > exhaust

Think of it like a sandwich, with your main cat being the filling. You're just changing the bread from granary to white lol, but its still a ham sandwich

It’s late, I can’t sleep, and now I’m also hungry!

However clever use of food to describe a technical topic haha!

Appreciated though Chris! From the painting I had in my mind, it was a shiny new manifold, welded to shiny new exhaust! So I was thinking where is the cat!!

Thanks for clearing that up!

hmm i fancy decating mine but im unsure yet.

loud enough Ross..if you do some motorway driving it will be unpleasant..

hmm i fancy decating mine but im unsure yet.

would be interested to see what it sounds like..

And there’s me thinking yours was loud enough James! Sounded beauts ragging it through the centre of Lincoln!

yeah that was good fun! its more of the power gains rather than noise. Im not really sure yet, few things ticking around my head at the moment

Is it around 15/20 bhp gains for taking off the cat?

 

[jamesgw200]

yeah basically, only problem is the akra is 2.75 inch and best gains is from a 3inch but no way am i taking off a sweet sounding exhaust which was a 1800quid. But im thinking decat and maybe a hybrid tubro. but shhh.
