So I am now confident that swapping out the cat front pipe was not relevant to my previous issues. 41t on the rear gives you lower gearing .....

woody1970 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi Guys, I recently bought a 17 reg 4 ride & was interested to read your chat about power mods. Could Greg give more details about the power mods you’re talking about. Obviously the front pipe needs changing to get rid of the cat. Does that effect passing the mot ? You talk about the small washer in the throttle bodies. Is it simply a job of removing that & it’ll run ok without doing other changes. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys I wouldn't take technical advice from gavinskii, who doesn't know the difference between raising and lowering gearing !
