Owl hoot from decat
« on: 17 December 2012, 20:59 »
I'm not sure if my Milltek system needed 'breaking in' but I was just revving the engine on my drive, to see how much the engine block moved under full throttle, and my god do I get a cheeky owl noise coming from the tail pipes now! :evil:

It was always rather disappointing when I first got the decat fitted, but now I know what people mean when you get the owl noise! :laugh:

My car came with a power flow system from the cat so I had the cat cut off the back box binned and a straight pipe all the way cost me £65 sounds far better

No back box?? :grin: thats quality.  Is your exhaust standard from what was the cat to the engine?
