v8 mid silencer removal?

Harry TheBear · May 16, 2009

I am reliably informed (by a man who knows these things) that my box is from a Transit (fnaar fnaar). It's roughly in the middle & the noise (inside) is lovely in enclosed spaces but fairly subdued at normal road speeds (until you gas it - then it makes you smile). Oh yeah, it's a disco 1 with a 3.9 V8 and edelbrock carb. Cheers, HTB

only removing the CAT would affect the emissions.

i've got no cats and twin exit straight thrus...but always have the LPG on for the MOT

i would worry about running on petrol for the emissions tho

Is it gold plated?

£228 for 1 exhaust box

regarding the 'hot floor' the mid box should have a heat shield fitted to the top of it, some boxes come with the brackets and some don't as i found out meself when i went to lift me rear carpet only to find the burnt stuck mess that used to be the sound deadening underneath
