I'd say knocking its guts out should do the job but not upset any sensors from others that have done the job on the TD6.

There aren't any O2 sensors or any other sensors for that matter in a TD6 exhaust system so you can remove the guts of the pre cat and the cat without any concerns, things can only improve if you do.

Good morning. From the other perspective, we have a relatively modern TD5 and we removed the cat, fitted an egr blank and chipped it. Yes the thing is now more responsive and for me thats great

Thanks Craig. good advice. I'm not sure what the local scrappy market is like in SA for cats, but even so your idea of fitting flanged pipe sections as replaceable parts is a good one.

Just remember that it appears that as of 1 January 2012 the MOT in the uk will require the cat to be in place at the time of mot for all cars that had them fitted at manufacture.

Well, when they are worth as much as a set of stolen wheels its far less effort i guess!

Quick update as promised. New Turbo is back in, and cats removed. I must say that I dont see significant change in performance, but I was told that the turbo was over boosting before I had it repaired, so perhaps the performance gain I got from removing the cats was offset by the turbo not delivering quite so much output. In any case, I'm happy as now I dont get an awful squeel evert yime i pull away. Thanks everyone for your input. |
