Hey i was just wondering if i were to remove the catalytic converter if it would add any horse power? or what about getting a "Y" pipe before the cat. so i can still have the cat. but have it go straight out when i want to race?

Another good thing I tried for the first time at the weekend (slight topic change here) Toyota`s own brand injector cleaner. (as recommended and supplied by Ian Smith - anyone who knows him ... Ian is the GT-four Guru) Well it worked wonders...try some of that if performance is ****e, but it must be Toyotas own brand, I have tried others with nowhere near as good results as this stuff.
Also, try cleaning the filters, plugs dizzy cap etc QUOTE(94wrc @ Mar 28, 2006 - 1:03 PM) [snapback]414485[/snapback] Ahh you frequent over here too Nial, I did think that getting rid of the cat would give increases but didn't want to start an arguement  Nathan You know me mate.....always one to wade in....dont mind an argument and I think I should know enough by now to back up what I`m saying  |
