4,0 V6 Prado Cat removal.

[jacques kotze]

Ek wil hoor wat is julle opinies oor die cat removal op die 4,0l V6 Prado ? Maak dit n verskil in krag/brandstof en wat sal dit kos om dit uit te haal?

[Thabogrobler]

Dit sal verseker 'n verskil maak op krag en brandstof, hoeveel hang af van die kilo's wat die ou op het. So oor 100k dan sal jy onmiddelik 'n verskil voel, minder km's kleiner verskil.

Kan nie baie kos nie, sit net 'n freeflow box in die cat se plek, hy mag dalk so rapsie meer raas.

As jy ooit Welkom toe gaan, daar reg oorkant Autoquip en Human Motors is 'n klein Exhaust shoppie, DJ Motors, in Constantia straat, praat met Dean, hy ken van exhaust bou!

Dankie Thabo, Hy het nou so 160 000km op. Ek wil graag die cats uit haal maar wil ne regtig meer geraas he nie. Is nie bekommerd oor meer krag nie, hy het genoeg daarvan soos hy is, sal wel die brandstof wil verbeter. Sal maar met hulle gaan praat en hoor of daar dalk n goue middel weg is. Dankie baie!!

I've had a look into removing the 'cat' on my Prado, went and spoke to the guys at Viper Exhausts, Kempton Park. I see they have quite a good report from some of the forum members.

The issue that we have with the V6 is that the 'cat' sits in the manifold, to remove the cat properly you need to replace the manifold with branches.

Viper quoted me for a complete system - R7500.

They also said that it is a waste of time in only doing a free flow exhaust and leaving the standard manifold - the only thing that you'll get is a better engine note.

To improve on the fuel consumption and power and response, you'd need to do the whole thing.

That is the story from Viper - be interesting to hear if anybody else has a different take on it.

Alternatetively, place the milk bowl further away from the Prado, eventually the cat will get thirsty from the heat generated in the engine bay, and come out on it's own to drink the milk. While this is happening make sure that engine bay is completely sealed so that cat does not go back. Being such a small animal I'm not sure if that much less weight will make any noticeable difference and I cannot justify that amount quoted from Viper. If all else fail, try local vet, may work out cheaper.

lank terug het ek ook perongeluk n Prado gehad. Het al die cats uit gehaal. Nie regtig n noemenswaardige verskil in brandstof verbruik gekry nie. Maar ek ry hard, en petrol was goedkoop, so ek was nie te erg gepla oor brandstof verbruik nie. Maar daai V6 het nie te sleg geklink nie.

Dankie Donkey, The Prado has got 4 of these damn cats. It will take about a liter of milt to get them out.
