New exhaust....done....:D - V6 noise porn inhere!

I found with my car removing the cat had more effect on performance than changing to a 4-2-1 manifold & full stainless system put together. I'd also like to ask the OP if there's a performance filter fitted as the incar shots sound like there's plenty of induction roar.
When I put my car for an MOT i have the CAT in the boot, and tell them to fit the cat back on for the test and change it back again after. They always say they do it but they never do it, and never charge me extra labour either. Just sent away for my MOT Testers test though, so i'll soon be MOT'ing my own car, hopefully.

Even mine does? What with them not actually using fossil fuel

Even a sports cat is gonna throw out the air/fuel mixture. The standard map is obviously based on the standard exhaust system.

Std maps generally have closed loop lambda control with long term fuel trims that will also apply to wide open throttle so its not really a huge concern.

It definately needs a remap, the smell coming from the back of it due to the engine being too lean is somewhat...suspicious

You mean rich, J

Too much fuel = rich
Too little fuel = lean

Stand behind mine, it'll make your eyes water

Rich...Lean....eithers a good enough excuse to warrant a remap!

haha awesome stuff, we'll smoke out the RR at this rate :cool:

agw_01 · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:01

Mine doesn't smoke

Is it a custom map, i.e. a guy on a dyno mapping it there and then?

Phate · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:05

I haven't looked around yet really...but thats going to the best thing...live mapping it at an MG specialist

agw_01 · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:06

Absolutely. Plug and play chipping/mapping is ok, but you can't beat the real thing

Phate · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:08

Yep

- Not sure who I'm gonna use yet....RSM's maps are supposed to be awesome

agw_01 · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:11

How about.... no

Tbh, I don't know about the maps... they may well be very good. I wouldn't EVER go there for an engine conversion though.

I've nicknamed them 'really **** motors'

Phate · 26 Mar 2009 at 02:11

lol being serious, he live maps them, and I've spoken to a few people, very pleased with the results.

We'll see, hopefully I can find somewhere closer to home

Funny how super cars sound amazing without emitting more fumes than a nuclear power plant.

A nuclear power plant only emits steam

I know his reputation but to be perfectly honest if it wasn't for him my car wouldn't be here today. And he is supposed to be doing very good work now.

Just out of interest were you driving on the A13 today at around 2pm?
