Hi all,

I've been thinking about empty'ing my Scirocco 1.4TSI(twincharged) pre-cat, but when searching for any stories on the net about this mod, it's pretty close to 0 results... Most of the people just bought themselves a decat-pipe instead of emptying the OEM one.

For those who don't know: this mod is about removing the catalyic material from the pre-cat, to reduce exhaust gas temperatures.





Is there anyone around here that has done this mod, or has more information about it?
Thanks in advance!

Hot exhaust gas is good. It keeps less soot from building up and keeps the air moving faster.

Sell the material that came out for money. There are rare earth metals in that haha.

Its not a bad idea for places that do visual inspections of emissions equipment to pass if you can get around the cel. You'd be better off just getting a cheap catless downpipe from ebay and swapping for passing emissions
