Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok i just got a 3" mandrel bent exhaust put on my new triton. its from the cat back.. (the cat is bolted directly to the back of the turbo)

now it does go better but it makes no noise watsoever! it has a pissy lil straight thur muffler on it and its still quiet as!

so my question is, wil it hurt to get rid of the cat...

and dont give me all the crap about emmisons stuff as i dont wanna hear about it..

Hey, i didnt think diesels had cat conv.

Just get rid of it and get a straight through resonator/muffler for it.

Why?

You've got a great engine which performs well.

You want to spend more money for a fractional change in power, which will make a minor difference to your driving experience, and a negligible difference to your fuel economy.

At the expense of masses more toxins (carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons) released into the atmosphere and the risk of hefty fines should some authority notice.

You're kidding yourself. Leave it alone.

first i knew diesels had catalytic converters. didn't think they were needed

Same.. particle filters are the rage with the new diesels in europe.. didn't think diesels had enough gas emissions to justify one.

well the new common rail diesels have a cat.. its prolly more of a particall filter.. when u look up the guts of it.. it look jsut like a cat...

Why aske then, you obviously expected that to be the answer, matter of fact, you answered your on question in your first post

You will find that the cat is actually also the dump pipe.

i asked cos i didnt know if you COULD get rid of it! but as GuT30 said its part of the dump pipe.. so that answeers my question..

thanks Gut!

$10k fine

yeh go ahead, remove it.

just cut it open and bash all the crap out and then weld it back together! That way knowone knows.

The 3 litre turbo diesles Navaras had them too.

thats what i would do if i was determined to get rid of it.

but i would probably just leave it in as there wont be too much gain from removing it

Actually, I read very well. But, just as you were determined to ignore my opinion, I decided to ignore yours.

You don't want to hear it, but I wanted to say it.

You're kidding yourself. Leave it alone.

i didnt want ur opinion.. i wanted an answer to a VERY simple question

hahahahah

yer mate.. jsut doin a few small things

Your very simple question was "will it hurt?"

The answer is "Yes" - it will hurt the environment.

If you wanted a different answer you should have been more specific with your question.

But you're interested in improving the performance of your vehicle. Any such improvement will be negligible at best, so why do it?

You're kidding yourself. Leave it alone.

Sorry cranky - didn't mean to turn you on.

I already acknowledged you weren't interested in my opinion, after which you complained that I couldn't answer a simple question.

What was your simple question? "Will it hurt?"

The simple answer is "Yes."

We're arguing over what it will hurt, and the fact that you don't care.

I also believe any benefit to you will not be worth your effort - a point you have repeatedly avoided addressing.

You're kidding yourself. Don't do it.

i want to get rid of the thing .. not for perfomance but for noise!

THREAD CLOSED..

cos i dont give a rats

Thread closed? No it's not. If it were, I couldn't post in it.

So, we're getting closer to the mark. You want to remove the cat to INCREASE the noise your vehicle makes?

Right. I understand now. 'Nuff said.

idiot.. if ya read the first post it tells ya that

Increase noise = Hoon.

yep and i love it..

crankycruiser wrote:idiot.. if ya read the first post it tells ya that

Well, there ya go. I'd given you too much credit.

Lack of noise from an exhaust generally leads people to conclude that the exhaust is too restrictive, and must therefore be strangling the engine.

The next step in the thought process is typically to conclude that removing the restriction will allow the engine to breathe better, and thereby allow the engine to perform better.

This is the thought process I believed you were following, and your desire to remove the cat was fuelled by a desire for more performance.

However, you have just acknowledged that all you are interested in is creating more noise. Yep, I'm the idiot here.

Your arguments are becoming progressively more compelling. Your name-calling is clearly superior to mine, I feel humiliated in this school-yard battle.

Isn't it past your bedtime yet?

Just drill a hole in the headers, will make some more decibels for ya
