To Catalyse Or Not - C5 2lt Hdi?

[dizzyblond]

Hi Guys...OK it's down to the wire with this sob of a C5!!...I have decided to bite the proverbial and dispense with the Catalyser...BUT...not sure how to do this??...I could just cut it out of the front down pipe and insert a piece of straight s/s pipe or maybe just drill a big hole through the guts of the box or simply knock the innards out of it altogether??...anyone done this or know the accepted procedure??...I am looking to get rid of the back pressure created by a 'blocked' catalyser and before you ask, 'no' I cannot afford a complete new exhaust - I live in Ozz and they charge an arm and two legs for a C5 exhaust here, mongrels!!!...any help much appreciated, will also post in 'Problems and Fixes' sorry for the duplication...kind regards dizzy

Have you tried the secondhand route

Hi Dizzy

Can we just make sure the terminology is the same on both sides of the equator. When you say Catalyser are we talking about the particulate filter that can sometimes get clogged and cause problems on some diesel C5s Or are we talking about the catalytic converter the is just in front of the filter.

What model C5 have you got.?

As Coastline says if you need a cat Im sure you could get a good used one of ebay and have it shopped out.
