ajzetecs Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Bit of advice please, what are the pros and cons of removing cat and silencer on 1.8 tdci , really think me exhaust system need a bit better nosie, not expecting it to sound like a st/rs. Currently sounds like blowing down a pipe. Has anyone got any videos or links with somebody with both removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinjoh_ninjoh Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I removed the cat on my 1.6 petrol and it sounded great, I also have the decat manifold for sale but wouldn't be able to tell you if it would fit a diesel.

TomsFocus Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If you empty the cat and weld it up on top how will they see it? It'll be horrible with a straight through unless you like tractors and droning on the motorway though lol, would keep one box myself.
