Bloody hell, just took off the old cat exhaust off the 300 tdi D1 & the new pipe makes a big difference to performance.
The turbo spins up miles quicker & the torque is instant.
Anyone want a very decent tdi 300 cat front pipe they can have it, let me know before Monday or it's skipped.
have you replaced it with a straight pipe then?
Does that not f*ck up the MOT?
I wish I'd known that when I had mine. Let us know if it makes any difference to the mpg, I always got 28 out of the 300 but 32-35 out of the 200. TonyB
I can't see how it can mate, it's got no lamda s*it on it, looks a passive system to me.
Cool
How much was it, and where did you get it from?

I take it you've fitted a non-cat one?

makes a lot of difference and it won't eff-up the MOT 'cos it doesn't affect the smoke test. If they bring in a test for the things the cat is supposed to remove, that might change.
Also, the straight pipe can be fitted without removing the crossmember - I didn't succeed in removing the cat pipe in one piece from our 300 disco, so I see no reason to suppose that one could fit a new one without dropping the gearbox member.

I got i off without trouble? Had to twist it a bit, but easy as pie.
