Cat converter

[johnxt]

Hy

My Westfield is running with an Ford Zetec engine with an cat converter,and now the exhaut is fixed under the car

On the Westfield Website (Parts store) they offer an complete exhaut system with cat converter

Where is the cat converter fixed?

Is he fixed inside the silencer?

Maybe anybody have an better solution ( Exhaut system with cat converter for Zetec engine)

Thanks

Regards

1. Yes the cat is inside the silencer

2. If your car is an ametuer built car you may not need a cat for mot, What does it say on your v5?

I previously had an 1800 Zetec with underslung exhaust (std factory build at the time - 1999). The CAT on this system IIRC was a seperate unit mounted in the engine bay as the exhaust looped around the front of the engine. The side exit exhaust has the CAT mounted in the silencer if you choose/need that option.

I believe the raceline one is re packable and is less restrictive than the W/F one.

Have a look at steppenwolfs site he fitted a raceline system!

I've got a Raceline system with a cat in the silencer, not repackable though.

I changed my standard side exit 2001 Westfield 1800 zetec exhaust for a Raceline jobby with a Cat in the silencer. Cost about a £1000 pounds for silencer/CAT and manifold (£675 exhaust, £250 CAT, plus gasket plus VAT). My version is non-repackable which I didn't know they did, as I was thinking it would look like Steppenwolf's can. My can just looks like a standard car silencer, just bigger and stainless steel. If I had known I would have paid the extra £150 for the repackable version. The Raceline can with cat is also heavier than the standard Westfield cat silencer (which I have cluttering up my shed - £70??), but the whole Raceline system looks very nice. The Raceline version does look good though and is also quieter.

Can send some photos of the non-repackable silencer later if you want, if you let me know your e-mail address.

Why not buy a repackable silencer & put the cat back on for MOT's

I took my standard westfield exhaust with built in cat off this summer & fitted a repackable one with no cat, mot'd it 3 months back, no problem, visual smoke test only.

Mines a zetec, built from all new parts on a T plate, I'd fit a standard repackable one with no cat if I were you, it runs better, feels free'er and weighs abit less.

hth,

Mark.
