Thread: damaged cat converter

yep you need the sensors or your fuel mappings going to goto crud.

Fortunately it should just be a case of getting a welder to bore holes and weld appropriately threaded nuts into the D1 system...

Alternatively just section out the parts from your exhaust and insert them into the D1 system after removing the same size section...

ID do it for ya but sydneys a bit far for me to drag the welder... (and my extention cords aint that long)

The cat converter you dont need but your disco aint road legal without it which is only a problem if you get caught.


Best o luck

thanks , I do own a mig and can fab up a section to replace the cat, just making shure. do you think i will need to remove the other cat to ballance exaust flow, the one thats squashed is the round one. the oval one is ok.
thanks

If your pulling out one of the ones that deals with a bank of 4 then you should remove the other one as well (balanced gas flow and pipe lenghts are good things for exhausts IMHO)

The cats dont really restrict the flow that much and if your concerned about it Id spend the dollars to get replacement high flow cats, or at least one good hiflow 3:1 cat to put in after the 2:1 join in the exhausts.. (but Im obligated to say that)

I always thought the rover v8s sounded nicer with a set of 4 2:1's feeding 2 bigger 2:1's extractor style then venting straight out the sides just in front of the rear wheels. But im not supposed to say that..
