Cracked cat - TomLum - 11-02-2013
Hi all, thought my car was getting louder then did a 6 hour trip over the weekend and it suddenly got louder and deffinatly blowing somewhere. Jacked it up to find this..

Is this repairable or is a new part needed?
Thanks for any advice,
Tom

Shpuldnt make it tooo much louder, it'll change the tone tho and make it sound more epic

I've got a few videos of my decatted '6. I'm on tapafail so I don't have the links but they're on my project thread
I love the decat, it sounds epic and it seems quicker... Don't know why! It does make my ears ring a little after a long journey though!
RE: Cracked cat - Frosty - 12-02-2013
My car is pretty noisey with the decat but they are well worth doing!
RE: Cracked cat - Toms306 - 12-02-2013
Pfft, thats barely noticeable.......the pipe on mine is now an inch away from the cat itself....
Bloody noisy and droning though!
