Cat converter removal

[joe.weeden]

Has any body removed the car out of a stock 3.0 litre how hard and how have people done it replaced with a pipe? Or I have heard of people bashing the centre out ?? I know removing the cat is illegal and the fines are big but that doesn't bother me (until I get busted)

The CAT on the 3lt is the big heavy chunk of cast ion bolted to the back of the manifold, removing it is fairly easy and a turbo dump pipe can be had on eBay quite cheaply.

Is this what your talking about http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110955055201

yep but are you going to use your standard exhaust or are you planning on upgrading the whole system. If you are going with a stock exhaust then you will need a dump pipe to suite, if you have the cash then opt for a 3inch exhaust and a dump to suite it will help the motor breath and you will notice a power gain straight away.

I think for that price I will just get a whole 3 inch if I could have gotten away with it cheaper I would have just modifies the stock

yeah a 3inch will make a big difference with diesels its all about getting the air in and the exhaust out as fast as you can to gain performance. I am not suggesting you will turn it into a rocket ship but you should be able to notice the difference. By the way if you remove the cat your exhaust will smell a lot more diesel'y if thats a word lol
