Afternoon all. I'm working 'til 8 today, which means I'll have the cover of darkness to use the workshop! I'm thinking of cutting a little window in my pre-cats and smashing the guts out, then welding a plate over the window. Good idea? Why? Are they accessible, is the metal really thin and annoying to weld or is it nice and chunky? Is this gonna reduce my backpressure to an unacceptable level (De-cat, middle silencer removed, so only restrictions are the pre-cats and the cheap ECP backbox)? |
