Mk2 8V ECU Upgrade?

[mitch750]

thats awesome, is there some sort of info that would help me remove it, i dont wanna start undoing **** then regreting it! ahaha

[mitch750]

i went and had a look, im thinking of just cutting the cat off and putting a straight pipe

DO IT!!!!

depends whether it needs to be cut out, if your not up to it or dont have time take it to a muffler place. i think mine was about $100

[mitch750]

sounds good just for now, then ill buy something proper

[Stiggy_21]

dont know how much different an 8v sounds

[mitch750]

that sounds mad, but look, and read the comments... what exactly did he disconnect?

LOL i think he just cut it about half way, so from the rear it looks like the mufflers are used but really they aren't..

[mitch750]

tell ya what, im giving that a go, might go see if i can do it now actually! cause the mid section has bolts and shietttt

[mitch750]

stupid bolts were way to tight, couldnt get them to budge, have to wait till i can get it on a hoist

that borla sounds nice, but theres something about twin pipes on a mk2 that just seems right to me. Do you guys know what i can do to quiet my exhaust down? lol, drove it for ant 3 hrs today and i have a headache....

Its a standard system except the rear box, makes it sounds like a drone.
