Title: dose removing cat = better performance?
Post by g.wass on Sep 12^th, 2004, 9:52am

Hi
with ref to my previous post on lack of performance compared with my 1990 Scorpio. It was sugested replace cat with straight pipe to get performance back. Dose this really work, is the cat such a performance blocker. Have I got to upgrade to a Cosworth version Scorpio to get back to 1990 performance
