    2.2 TDCi (Puma) CAT Delete

    For the ones that are interested, recently had to replace a blown turbo on a Defender 2.2lt TDCi (puma) and did a CAT delete at the same time. Bit of a pain to get out, had to undo the engine mount nut and jack up engine, then still had to bend bracket on cat before I could squeeze it out. Should be the same deal for a 2.4 TDCi (puma) but as the CAT is a bit smaller it may well just fall out.

    Its a great mod to do, the improvement dare I say.... better than some remaps and a darn sight cheaper

    No need to undo anything or lift the engine at all to remove.

    Just unbolt, cut the bracket off, cut the cat from the pipe at the bottom.
    Rotate cat anti-clockwise and being bottom towards rear of vehicle and it will drop out.

    Took me and the local exhaust guy 10-15 min to remove.

    As it was a customers vehicle I didnt want to burn my bridges until I was certain, by the time I'd dropped the section off to my exhaust guy I'd decided it was a one way path.

    but yes the way you did it was easier!

    No no, its a simple job either how I did it or Tombie. could easily been done in a driveway at home.

    And with a Defender... get used to removing the cross member, it gives you a chance to clean the ends up and coat it with some anti rust etc and to anti seize the bolts

    Took me about 1 hour to do my 2.4.Undid the bolts,cut the bottom pipe off the cat with a grinder,a bit of a twist and out it came.A new de-cat pipe from the UK for $130 or so landed at my door,it went straight in with a twist and bolted up,I recon I could do it in under an hour now.The difference is less cabin heat,more go,much more go actually and about another 100k's to a tank,downside,less engine braking.
