hey there everyone.
i am soon goin to upgrade the exhaust on my T2. im thinking about a 2 1/2 inch mandrel bent system. i have read all of the posts about exhaust upgrading and everyone says to remove the cat converter. i am told tho that it is illegal to remove the cat. does anyone know if this is true or not? i live in south australia if the law varies from each state.
cheers.

Re: Cat converter
In Nz there is no law against the removal of the cat...

Re: Cat converter
If the car is pre86 then you can turf it. Otherwise, putting a larger cat further down the exhaust would be much, much better than the stock cat which is an absolute power robber.

Re: Cat converter

Re: Cat converter
The first thing i did was gut the stock cat. It went a bit better but the main restriction is in the cat entry which is a tight, small bend. Sounded crap too...
Much better off with the new dump..
