hi m8
how do you mean on chat ,i also mean can i damage the engine etc cheers

It wont damage anything, you will loose a few bhp because its restrictive to the flow

'At full chat' basically means going really fast! :thumb:
And no, it will do no harm to the engine.
Can you feel the difference then?

When i had the afterburner/ninja combo, i got a bung for the long motorway journeys. Did make hell of a difference.

My car was tuned and i was advised by the mapper to not boot it with the bung in, because afterall, it was mapped without it and it is a restriction.

Confusion added, as two conflicting comments. Nothing new on here then :lol1:

You could just buy a quieter backbox. Cus i can't see the point in keeping it and using the bung all the time. You wont get on the track and your numbered at home.

Keep your b/box and ignore the dibble, unless you live in a small village and your car is well known. If stopped again just tell them that you have changed it I doubt they would know that its the same one.
My vortex isnt that bad, is yours decatted aswell?

hi there is one cat left on i think thats what was said on my last mot

bob r 06 January 2007 11:43 PM

If yours was fully decatted ie-both cats removed (illegal)then that would explain it being overly loud, but if you say it still has one on,then it will be the one in the downpipe.
