Im thinking about doing away with the cats on my zed, has anyone done this on their zed?

Was the performance noticably better? Who would stock them? cheers guys.

Yep quite a few peeps have done this, only downside can be if your Turbo oil seals are weak then de-catting can exasperate the problem. I think Latzio had his blow with the car still on the ramps after getting rid of his cats?

 

Johnny at GPS 01942 671239 sells these pipes for roughly a few hundred squids mate!

I just did mine - OH YES!! Should have done it earlier. Car boosts faster and car feels tighter on the road.

Z first and anything else is secondary and live life a quarter mile at a time!

Yes, it's well worth it IMO. Much more quick spool up after the mod.

 

I have to agree that some people cause their turbo seals to leak without that cat back-pressure.

 

 

I was told that the Z Centre have decat pipes that also deal with the back pressure. Try them see what they say.

Don’t forget that if you car is newer than mid 1992 K upwards you may run into problems with the MOT. Mine in a J reg and I just had an mot with no problems.

 

------------------

Its not so much of having problems with your MOT. In theory it should still pass the emmisions test with the cats off and I dont know if the garage can tell if the cats are off. Pre K reg you can legaly take off the cats, if it's K reg or newer it is ILLEGAL to take the cats off the car.
