    We use the excellent ACE header with the Abbey HFC and get very good results;

    remember our bhp is recorded at the hubs.

    Not as cheap as the TD header but we feel it gets great results.

    send me a PM on here with your email address and I can provide further dyno plots and quotes

    Hi have a Cobra non-resonated Cat back system with Jap slash cut tailpipes.

    It will be noisy on a car with cats removed.

    Basically if you want an accurate EGT reading you have to measure it with a therocouple right at the cat inlet. 

     

    Yes you are correct , the Stock EGT reading will sit around 600deg C at idle which is the controlled temp for the O2 sensor element.  Once running hard you will see a delayed increased reading of EGT

    The EGT readings that you can read on OBD readings is via the O2 sensor but this is the temp the element is running out , it is shielded from full exhaust gas flow so I would believe that temp.

     

    SC car seem to run high EGT. Manufacturers CATS are far better quality than any of the CATS brick used on after market kits unless you spend a lot of money so they seem to last a lot longer when running on a FI car. Running the after market CAT as far away from the engine is the best way to make them last but this also causes issues with keeping them hot enough for MOT emission testing.

    Thanks

    Those of you who were at Bedford in August will know that I left driving something akin to a tractor. It was definitely the manifold blowing but where from was the question?

    This is the offending article. It has failed right along the heat affected zone from the weld. Very poor design!067f4013625e33fc91d203e53974eb8a.jpg

     

    seen this a few times on SC cars , seems it fails on the stress edge when the manifold parts where stamped They only fail on Charged cars not on NA cars
