4.0 V6 Cat Removed....Feedback!

Post by BenRich »

Hi Gents

So I took the plunge and had my V6 "worked on"

What was done ... De-Cat, Branches, Stainless Free-Flow :thumbup:

I had the work done at Viper Performance Centre in Kempton Park. Still early days so will give more feedback as I test her. Must say she feels more ..... "lively" :thumbup:

I must say it looks cool though :cool: And the sound is nice....still quiet....but there :thumbup:

Hi Bennie

Dit lyk of die 2 pype weg van mekaar af bly van voor tot agter... sover ek weet moet mens dan n balance pipe insit maar ek mag verkeerd wees?? hy behoort dan n baie dieper klank te he...

Jy's reg Stef,

As jy mooi kyk is hulle op die voorste bend gelas aan mekaar en die twee pype loop agter in n laaste boks is, dan net een uitlaat na agter

Ek sou graag wou hoor wat dit aan jou brandstof verbruik en krag maak aangesien ek na die naweek dieselfde oorweeg.

So as promised

Went to Bloemhof this weekend (I will not elaborate on the fishing :slap:)

Driving down via Parys doing 120kmh on the GPS I got 12l/100km. According to pump :thumbup:

Coming back we had to battle HEAVY headwinds so consumption went up to 13l/100km (But still driving 120kmh)

I'm very happy with my conversion :thumbup: She sounds awesome and the driveability is much better :yahoo:

Dit lyk goed. Wat was jou brandstof verbruik voor die tyd. So wat ek wil weet is is daar byvoorbeeld 1/2 km/l verbetering of 1km/l . Wat het hulle met die engine sensors gemaak op die cat systeem? Het jou engine enige foute aangedui?

Ek sou se vanaf 13.8l/100km af na 12l/100km......Miskien minder afhangende hoe jy ry?

Hulle het op die agterste twee sensors n dummy sensor ingesit en ek het nog geen liggies of probleme ervaar nie. Baie bly ek het dit gedoen.

Please post some pics of yours!

Groete Ben
