    ABY Sports Cats

    All,

    Having finally grown tired of the rattely cats I'm looking into getting a pair of sport cats.

    The reason I want cats is because i have no middle box on my miltek and the sound is just on the right side of tolerable and I'm scared that the removal of the cats will make it way too loud.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for a set and has anyone got a pair on their flying machines that can shed some light on perormance and noice?

    many thanks,

    Jigs

    Go to a decent custom exhaust place and get them to sleeve the DP to 3" and fit a suitable 100cpi or 200cpi 3" inlet / outlet sports cat to the hybrid dp and a 3" link pipe to the centre box. It will cost about £500 and is worth the spend as a pair of cats in the crappy stock location will cost about the same and yield less benefit than this setup.

    Here is the for sale thread of a DP I had made like this from Prospeed in Cardiff, it worked really well as, even though a tubular top section is better, it isn't too restrictive on a stock turbo. Speak to Charlie if you want a full or hybrid DP and sports cat, his prices are reasonable and work very good. Just make sure you're both 100% clear on what you're getting



    I just checked and 'david' had that off me, might be worth searching to see what he did with it.

      Thanks for that - £500 is money I just can't justify. Looks like I may have to put up with the rattling.

        Right, that's a shame, a custom place might be able to make something up that replaces just the cats but it'll be throwing money at something that's not really worth the effort. Better to get some secondhand cats off here or get some cat replacement pipes made up for £100 and just put the cats on at MOT time, assuming they still work. Not an ideal solution but one that some are willing to put up with.

          Thanks for your input Andy - if only it didn't cost a 2nd mortgage to run these flying machines...

            Zero depreciation generally helps offset things
