[kanujunkie]

I get popping noises and a lovely low growl.   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

I get those with my pre-cats still in place.. I do hope I get more without them  s;) s;)  (Used to like that in my R16 - no CAT at all  s;) s;) )

Right I've just read through every page of this thread.  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   From what I can gather the post 03 cars have more bolts/different manifold design?  s:? :? s:?   I have to say I am rather confused.  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

I am interested in finally doing this, and would like to be pencil'd in for the gutting meet.. But would someone mind doing a bullet point list of what needs doing – all the info is spread across seven pages!

From what I can gather...

1. Penetrating fluid on the manifold bolts. Do the newer cars have more?
2. Penetrating fluid on the O2 sensors?
3. Remove heat shield prior to meet? O2 sensors out first?

Help here would be great, and Mark, if there's room for one more I'll probably be there.

Cheers!

From my point of view the increased noise is fantastic, but probably something to do with the H & S as well, I get popping noises and a lovely low growl.   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Thanks Liz

I'm quite happy for extra growl - mine's actually quite growly now.  

It's the increased boominess and drone at cruising speeds that would ruin it for me - so I would like to know if this is a common result.

No its the lower revs where you really get the joy of it  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  .  I may pop along to the gutting meet and you can have a ride out and listen if you like?

I've bit the bullet and will be attending to have the things out.

Hi Guys, any room for another? I'm absolutely kacking myself reading these threads. I've got an 00 reg, it's only done 20K, but I'm well out of warranty.

I did take out a 3 year warranty from the garage I bought it from, but I suppose that's not worth the paper it's written on!

GET THEM OUT, the Pre cats I mean, obviously.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I believe this one is full, have a look at Markiii's link in the above post
