Catless SS section 1 - installed -

So i picked up my car yesterday from the shop, a few things were done to the car, one of them was the addition of a catt less section one from Super Sprint. Being a Euro spec car, this means there are no cats on this car at all, period.

Drove the car home from the shop, and had a bit of a play, road legal speeds of course. Love the new sound.. and bloody hell, some of the pops and gurgles have become soo loud that initially i thought i blew my exhaust off at one stage..


No fuel smell so far in the car.

and once that rpm goes over 3.5K!!!





Oh, no CEL yet.. not sure how long that is supposed to take or weather there will be one at all (due to Epic tune), il run the scanner on it in a few days, see if any codes pop/popped up.

SS section 1. needs to be run a bit to remove some carbon.

Catt-less.

That's awesome! Do you think you'll need to retune, or are you fine for now? +1 for video

Does the sound of the straight pipes blocks the sound of the airbox?

Inside the cabin? No. You can still hear the airbox, esp when you press the loud pedal. Hopefully my good buddy Gonzalis has finished with his audio capture of the day.

working on the pics, RL has priority atm

Edit.. Sorted

Might as well add this. The Alpha N tune from Epic already tunes out the CEL that would come on with running Catt-less, so there will be no CEL. I can confirm this as have driven about 500kms since the install. Also the changes for lack of back pressure result in a little loss of torque down low below 3k, but above 3k its really hums. I talked back wards and forwards with Randy from Epic about a re-tune for going catt-less and he assures me it is not of any benefit if your already running his Alpha N.

Really liking this change. The car now sounds much… angrier.
