My TTE (with intact pre-cats) has begun to pop, i love it but is it normal?

I know its just un-burnt fuel in the exhaust but i thought the pre-cats stopped it?

Dealer mentioned it the other day as abnormal!

*fingers in ears* la la la la I can't hear you! *fingers in ears*  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Mine does the same James - however, I must admit, that every time I hear it (and yes, it does sound nice  s;) ;) s;) ) I do wonder if my pre cats are still in there or not..

Pops like mad if you get the changes right (the girl friend keeps asking me if shes doing something wrong when she drives it) and the old 2 with the Postert system did the same (figures as there both the same system with different exit pipes   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  )

So nothing wrong with yours   s:) :) s:)

To say mine pops now would be an understatement - I can get it to sound like the surrounding neighborhood is under fire from the US army!
I had the exhaust apart a few days ago and checked the main cat while I was at it as I was afraid I had been blowing large holes in it, but it was fine  s:) :) s:)

So you still have the stock cat or some Hass cat? Metal cats can take pretty much any abuse you can make...
Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

Your local Toyota dealer.. Though they don't list them as "TTE" anymore, you just want the "Toyota twin exit exhaust" or somesuch words, it's a standard optional extra.

I have the race cat that Hass supply, it's very small and made by a company called Catco - I believe it is a metal matrix too.

If you are happy to go away from Toyota, I recommend the H&S - well I would, wouldn't I   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  IMO sounds a lot nicer.

Last time fitted one-off price was £400 + VAT, but getting 5 at once (if you want to run a GB) reduced the price to £350 + VAT. You will have to phone, but details on their web-site:

The cat supplied with Sean's turbo kit is made by Catco.  The actual cat membraine is made of metal unlike the stock ceramic ones.

gut your precats! they break down over time, egt ingested by the engine and cause serious damage to it.  often the dealers won't replace the engine under warranty.

youve been warned!
