pugrallye 0 Posted August 22, 2006 you will gain more in responsiveness than out and out power really, maybe 3 or 4 bhp?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahl 4 Posted August 22, 2006 1.6's never had cats fitted. Are you sure its not a 1.9 cat model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inferno 1 Posted August 23, 2006 my 92 k reg zx didnt have a cat... i think 92/93 it was introdced and 94 cats were essential. from experience with a 1.8 zetec, removing the cat alone had no effect on power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roland rat 11 Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) should make a difference if your removing a cat for a 205gti as the models fitted with one are0.6secs to 60 slower and lose 3mph at the top end(if they ever get there!!! ) p.s you might even see more *HUGE* gains by fittng an aftermarket exhaust system and manifold Edited August 23, 2006 by roland rat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fisherspug Posted August 23, 2006 cheers mate, thanks for the info, am plannin a 4 branch, and a straight through system, what car you got? any pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted August 23, 2006 should make a difference if your removing a cat for a 205gti as the models fitted with one are0.6secs to 60 slower and lose 3mph at the top end(if they ever get there!!! ) p.s you might even see more *HUGE* gains by fittng an aftermarket exhaust system and manifold not quite, as the Catted models were also lower compression and different cam timing and lift etc so would be lower output whatever exhaust they had, though IIRC they do have a better management system.

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted August 24, 2006 that's correct, de-catting will only get a bit of a responsivity back and maybe a bhp or two. but ofcourse, you want to do it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roland rat 11 Posted August 25, 2006 cheers mate, thanks for the info, am plannin a 4 branch, and a straight through system, what car you got? any pics? ive got a 93 1.9gti with a cat at the moment.ive also got a full stainless magnex exhaust system and manifold to fit to the car.hoping it will make some improvement to the car.not so sure if the later management is all that great but what do you expect from a 13year old french car?
