Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi.

I'm sure this had been asked before but my Tapatalk doesn't find anything when I search.

Can I go to any exhaust shop and ask to remove my catalytic converter?
Will they know exactly what to do or do I need some one with some Pajero experience?

Can I just remove the CAT? Won't my car show any engine light after it has been removed?

Thanks all

Dunlop - Cornwall Hill, at the back of Cornwall Hill Shopping Center should be able to sort you out.

I had mine removed and replaced with a piece of straight pipe for R 250-00.

Not sure about the Gen4, but the Gen3 does not have a sensor in the CAT (No wires to the CAT).

The guys at Cornwall showed me a "Dummy CAT" (Size of a 10mm bolt) which they weld into the straight pipe on vehicles which does have a sensor. The wires then plug into this dummy CAT to fool the ECU.

Pop in and ask them. It’s in our neighbourhood!

Thanks LowRange, I will go there in the week to find out if they can help me.

Hi LowRange.

Did the removal of the CAT improve the performance on your vehicle?

Regards.

I was there at Cornwall, the guy says he can't remove the CAT as it sits on the manifold, so I'm not 100% sure if its true or not.

He also can't remove the middel silencer and replace with a free flow box as gee would need to change everything.....

Bummer! I didn't think the vehicles were that different.

Laupi, although it feels slightly more responsive, I have not seen any improvement in fuel consumption.
