BMW decat

[clutchplate]

I'll speak to the guy I know at bmw for you this week, I need to see him about my modules.. I'll let you know bro.

When did BMW start using cats?

dogs were too high maintenance.

 

[SirSparky]

anything that you remove from your car that isnt done by bmw will void any warrenty.....they are very iffy about this especially when it comes to forking out money to fix something expensive.if the dealership even catches you with a cone filter or any other aftermarket filter they voild ur warrenty....unless stated by them that they give u permission to do such mods...

 

[bryden]

Out of motorplan.

 

[SirSparky]

fcket....remove the cat and the dog and the chicken while ur at it

I just bought a 2 month old puppy...shits all over the place...already bit my mudflaps to pieces...somehow he got into the garage and tipped over the 25litre race gass containers..alles in hulle moer...dogs are damn expensive get rid of all the "animals" on your car...heeehee :mmm:

 

[andrewbuch]

seriously guys when did they start using cats?? Like which year? Which models?

 

[Arbee]

If you are in JHB, take your car to KWIK FIT in Fordsburg, ask for Salo, tell him ARBEE sent you. He normally does decat for around R500 odd if you lucky. 0118387852.

Howzit guys

I'm new to the forum, just want to know does the E36 M3 3.0 1994 model have catalytic converters in them ? If so a de-cat will be taking place

 

[mahinder-suresh]

Etienne van der Linde is brilliant, ref my post on my cars exhaust.

Theo, back in 1994, we only had leaded petrol available, hence the 3.0 M3 (the ones brought to RSA) do not have cats (or dogs). No de-cat necessary

My guess is 1997(ish)

 

[m3nace]

Will the E46 M3 lose the "rasp" if you remove the cats? Are there any power gains to be had by de-catting? If so, how many kw's?

 

[clutchplate]

if their blocked, which they normally are, probably a huge gain... from doing my exhaust and unichip, well, my entire exhaust kinda comprised of cat delete, and replacing all the mufflers with 2 high flowing cowley mufflers and nice big SS pipes. took my car form 202kW to 231.1kW .. quite a substantial difference there hey bob. ALSO, hardly anyone knows this.. if you have rear catalyst sensors, one before cat and one after cat.. put them back in the same place they came from ! same point in the exhaust even... then for the rear sensors, put about a 3cm spacer inbetween the sensor and the exhaust ... otherwise you should get a warning or warning light on your cluster...

... still want me an M3 like your, haha.

 

[bryden]

Thats a huge difference!
Defintely on my budget now.
I'll do my homework and see if I can get the best price and best quality of workmanship!

My M3 is my baby, dont wwant just anyone busy with her, Doctors only!

 

[enverh]

wow powerflow in edenvale quoted me 2500 for the decat on my 325ci.
a rip-off????

Thx CPlate. You are spot on. I got 25kw (just removing the primary cats) and a nice swing in Tq.

 

[clutchplate]

yeah, my torque was quite nice also.. went from stock upto 488Nm.. was quite insane. no, it most surely makes a huge difference...

I'm assuming you are at the coast , or is that ATF ?

That is on a E39 540i at the reef

 

[Nukleuz]

IM really dying to decat my car...

Spoke to my guy at the dealer, and he said they will never find it unless i complain abuot the exhaust...and they
have to open it up.

Im just worried about the CEL light coming on...
