yes but a cats going to be needed mot time anywayraptor said:could you get away with a decat pipe and the a supersprint exhaust instead! would come to less than £400
yes but with emission levels set as there are 99% of all cars will realistically need one to passraptor said:
More likely that something stopped the ignition for a few seconds but the injection kept pumping fuel the unburnt fuel ended up in the hot cat & then ignited =1dead cat & an exploded silencer full of bits of cat! May be worth finding out what stopped the ignition sparks, dodgy lamda sensor or something else? One of the forums injection specialists may have an idea you don't want a repeat performance in your new exhaust!!!jabs said:Drove home yesterday and about 5 miles from home the car lost power for about 15 seconds then BANG, followed by loud exhaust noises. Managed to get home without alerting the local police. Looked at it today and the middle box had exploded. Think what happened was the cat broke up and bits from this blocked the centre box (loss of power) then due to pressure build up the box just gave out. WOW !!!!!
:bang: The old trick of shoving a spud up the exhaust unlikely to cause an explosion & works almost instantly engine usually stalls not after 5 miles!puntomattb said:has no-one thought that sum chav could of stuck sumthing down your exhaust?? then drove away &............BOOM!
........just a thought
. It was worse as we lived in an army town at the height of the IRA thing. The rear box would blow every week, and we would just weld them up. My Fiat 127 was ace for doing this, and so was a mk1 Fiesta. In fact anything, i even managed to do it on an old Honda C90. So long as it's not injected, and as long as it doesn't have a fuel cut off solenoid switch then you were in there. The best days of my life, and how they have spoiled it all with ECU, injected , and over engineered rubbish. You had to remember though, one click of the ignition, because two meant the steering lock came on.
