    D2 Td5 exhaust questions??

    Hey All,

    Have just fitted a larger set of tyres and i'm looking to regain a little of the lost power. What are the legalities of removing the catalytic converter?? I've been reading a few of the posts and maybe just chucking a vortex muffler in place of the existing two would do the trick??

    Any thoughts from those far more experienced than me??

    Cheers in advance,
    CaptJimmy

    I have heard that removing the centre muffler will improve low down torque and doesnt increase noise that much...am thinking about trying it myself...

    Wink TD5 Exhaust

    Hi,
    I agree, get TR's ECU Upgrade. Remove the cat and get a Vortex muffler like Tombraider said in one of his posts.

    My MY2003 with the ECU upgrade and Vortex muffler thinks it is a TURBO 6 and I have to keep telling it, that is only a 2.5 Litre engine but after driving my mates 4.2l 1993 toyota cruiser ute I think the TD5 might be right.

    Thank my lucky stars that I drive a LandRover!! after driving that thing..
