Removing Quicksilver Exhaust..........

[Matt]

Removed the back Bumper today to remove the Exhaust..............now all sorted :approve:

My question is the small box that sits above the Exhaust that I'm guessing is called the "Collector Box", if this a Cat or just another Baffle section ?

Just wondering what it does as I was thinking of removing etc etc.

As always learning as I go along............

That's the collector box pal. Contains 2 cats that an be removed.

Ah right............the "Cats" are in that thing.

So much easier with my last car - 1980 Escort...........as basic as you could get

Not like these "ultra" modern V6 Clio's :tumble:

I'll just get my coat !

2 are but another two are in the downpipes too.

Its an easy job to remove the cat' cells from the collector. Just need a minigrinder and a welder.

Remember Addz doing his and commenting it was very easy to decat the cp. He had the Quicksilver OMG back box and it was loud! Lol.

So guessing if I remove the Cats in the collector box the 2 inboard Cats will still clean enough CO2 to allow the car to pass an MOT ?

Not that I'm anywhere near this point.............. :s

Yep should do no probs. Be careful though win removing padding (wear a mask)

Thanks for the pics Matt..............might be something I just have made further down the line, so i still have the original in one piece.

It if u really want to remove it u could just have that section fabricated and keep the original, I can't c it being huge money. Then if u don't like it put the original back in.

Im having that piece fabricated this week hopefully so I will let you know how much it was

The collector box can be decatted using a piece of solid bar knocked in to break the honeycomb ceramic stuff No cutting / welding required :approve:
This is what I got out of mine;
