Car Forum / MINI / September 2005New RC40 exhaust for Open Classic
Hi, I need to fit a new exhaust to our British Open Classic, and I want to keep the standard manifold, but remove the cat. I found an RC40 kit on ebay...please can anyone tell me what extra bits I will need to delete the cat? Here's the link to the exhaust: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RC40-Twin-Box-Exhaust-and-Fitting-Kit-for-the-Mini_W0QQite mZ4578006677QQcategoryZ43122QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I've tried asking the seller but have had no reply, and am in a bit of a rush to replace the exhaust! Any help very much appreciated. Cheers, Gary. Enough parts there to remove the cat, your problem maybe connecting to the manifold. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Gary.

HI, To fit the RC40 you will also need an LCB exhaust manifold amd a separate inlet manifold, preferably a Metro one. The RC40 will not fir directly to the existing exhaust pipe coming from the engine.

Try getting in touch with Maniflow of Salisbury, they sell all sorts of cat removing pipes and connections, one thing though you may need to retain your cat for the MOT, I doubt it'll pass without one fitted.

Rover jumped on the CAT "bandwagon" far before the required date, so as long as the Co levels and hydrocarbons are below required, then it['ll pass RS Hi Yeh thats right, the guy who always does my MOTs (and also a bit of a mini expert) said from the emmision readings the CAT is doing nothing (except choking the engine) but is still well within the requirements. thanks for the replies Gary >> Try getting in touch with Maniflow of Salisbury, they sell all sorts of >> cat [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > RS
