Omega General Help / Re: air injectior problems help !!!!!

« on: 04 April 2007, 19:37:09 »

problem is now cured !! had both cats removed today and what a difference in performance it has made! yes i do have the fact that to pass an mot the cats will need replaceing but thats no problem to bolt up 2 new cats come mot time the only downfall i can fins is the extra noise but it doesnt half sound good so i can easily put up with it its no louder than standard under normal driving conditions it will be intresting to find out if the power gains are infact gains but i have new suspension to fit nxt month and then it can go on the rollers to find out !!

It is definatly the driverside cat that is blocked ! left it ticking over for ten minutes 2day on the ramps got so i could see if there was a noticable difference in temps in the 2 cats and there was the exhaust pipe coming out of the passenger side was too hot to touch were the driver side is stone cold its booked in wednesday to be decated something i should have done when i had the ss exhaust 5 months ago it is standard apart from a few minor mods though i have uprated panel filter and modded airbox and intake the ss exhaust and has been running fine the cat seems to look fine but it has got a dent so who knows hope the decats do the trick

The other day i got in the car started it up and could notice the exhaust note was not the normal note !! i drove on regardless 2 miles later under load i heard a loud hiss and the exhaust sounded like it had shot a gasket i turnd round and went home parked the car up let her cool down so i could have a look any way 5 mins late i find a rubber pipe had split its the link pipe that links the two pipes together its located above the alternator i changed the pipe and drove on only to still have the irregular exhaust note under load and agen 2 miles away the pipe let go !! has any one ever had this problem its on a 3l v6 1995 !!!is it egr or something else

i had a complete system £280 from powerflow its no more mosiy than the standard systems are has a life time guarentee thats something vx dont give you also once it passed mot took it back to powerflow had bloth cats removed for £40 and that was making the decat pipes replaceable !!as for power flow you hear that many stories about them its ike any custom exhaust it just dipends on which branch you use !!
