No cats

(1/5) > >>

Adam:
I'm more of a dog man and like my cars barking, so I wanna change my cat....i mean extra muffler. I see 3 ways:

1) the COOL way- chop the pipes, and join the pipes seperatly creating a twin pipe system. Thats a lot of work.

2) taking the box out and replacing it. Now id need to know when i can get such a length of pipe with the appropreate attachments. its a 2 inch system btw.

3) The poor mans way- edit the box.

Ok- are there places around who are willing to do some of this work- particularly example no.1 ??

Whats the official legal view? Coz cats wernt reuired in oz in 1980.

thanks

Adam

Brutus:
I would have thought that even tho cats weren't legally required by our dear legislators until 80, your car was required to have anything that was originally fitted still in place.

77CVT:
Take the cat out yourself, drive to the muffler place (1/4 throttle!) and have them put a dual exhaust in.  It cost me $120.  I have since put in a full new exhaust but that is the best option IMHO.

Cats don't even work until they are hot anyway, so all these cars fitted with them driving to the bus/train station aren't even effectively using them.

rebel:
I'm with 77cvt on this one .... you could argue that it should remain for originality sake as mentioned by Brutus above but that level of detail I feel is NCRS; since our cars are modified anyway by way of steering conversion, they don't qualify. It's an individual decision but if you decide to dump 'em, I'd take 77cvt's advice and replace 'em with a dual system.
