gas cut exhaust flanges

[riosingh]

I found this guy on e-bay selling gas cut flanges to order for 1.50 a piece,
ideal for making cat replacements. Of cource you have to be able to weld them to either side of a piece of scrap exhaust pipe.
here is his e-mail adress.

Or you could speak very nicely to Mr BDA (bigdaveakers) who was able to supply some ready made ones for £40 + postage :-D

And they are of course high grade laser cut stainless steel flanges!

How much difference does the CAT replacement make? Is it noticeable?

Difficult to say with induction, super drager etc already fitted - best guess is an extra 10bhp - mind you how else could you gain 10bhp for £40, permanantly?

And it does make a difference to the exhaust note - sounds even better now :-D

Pete ? have you found it noisier inside the cabin now ?? not just the exhaust note from the outside ?? mine tends to 'drone' a lot more at around 2000 rpm. I know I've got a loud exhaust, but I think the de-cat is intrusive into the car ??

Not really noticed any different in the cabin - I love dropping the passenger window when there are some buildings that side (get the sound reflected back) and flooring it - lovely sound :D
