right...1.1 fresco...rage sys backbox...

needs to be louder, she doesnt purr on tickover which is slightly pants.

should i de-cat it...or remove the middle silencer box?

or maybe both...?

i know de-cating will improve performance slightly...but will it have a side affect if its missing?

ta very much

Removing the cat can in some circumstances cost you power. Removing any part of the system can have the same effect. There was a superb article in Fast Ford the other month about exhausts and how they work.

Exhausts are a fair bit more complicated than just a load of bent pipe under the car.

by **DravenFeista** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:44 pm

what would you suggest? like, to give the exhaust more of a rumble?

by **edders** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 7:17 pm

throw a way the bag of bolts we all know as the 1.1 . probably the only way youll get a good noise from it.

btw if your car was made after august 1992 then it has to have a cat. no bones about it . if it hasnt got one itll fail the mot.

by **Oranoco** on Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:57 pm

I'd go along with calling Bell but wouldn't phone Admiral if they were the last insurer out there. Bunch of tards

by **Jonezy** on Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:59 pm

by **DravenFeista** on Wed Jun 27, 2007 6:35 pm

by **HCS PIMP** on Wed Jun 27, 2007 10:49 pm

well take it off the down pipe and the cylinder head get out the die grinder and match to the exhasut port size and then you'll get some more power

my 1.1 with a kent cam shaft was good but didn't last

by **DravenFeista** on Wed Jun 27, 2007 11:43 pm

im stupid. ok, so your saying do this :

|oooo| <---head with standard size ex-ports

|OOOO| <head with ground out ex ports...

am i right or hideously wrong? llama

what you mean it didnt last? did the kent cam do it no good in the long run?

by **Oranoco** on Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:14 pm

Christ, thats the most stupud quote ever. Im 19 paying £1400 for an XR2i 1.8, with pass plus.

As other people have said you should really try http://www.bell.co.uk

by **DravenFeista** on Sat Jul 14, 2007 4:24 pm

well...i tried bell...and they wanted 1900 squid...hmmm. i think i must have been a really nasty person in a past life. lol.

i think this is getting effing stupid

Thats not something to be proud of matey :lol:

The first 3 years of driving is total hell on the insurance premiums.
I was 21 when i passed my test was paying £1100 on a 1.1 fiesta, then 6 months later £1550 for a 1.6 xr2i.

Now im 23 and still getting bent over paying £1100 for a Rs turbo :rolleyes:

Moral of the story - if your going to make changes to your daily runner. make sure you can afford to insure it with the new mods.

Haha maybe, you tried admiral or quinn? They seemed cheap for me.

by **DravenFeista** on Sun Jul 29, 2007 10:58 pm
