This Cat any good?

Any good?

Easy to weld a flat plate on each end and 2" id inlets.

And it's compact 180mm long by 100mm diameter.

And says jaguar on it.

ahhh now that's superb!

I don't need one, but there's lovely neat solution to the ends!

Have a look on here: you want a pair of Hygienic stainless 4"to 2" concentric reducers, they are cheap enough and will look really neat when tigged on!

Stainless Linky

Thanks - good linky that.

But this woulod make the can longer as the 2" tails would need to be on the ends of the cones.

Will only be for SVA and then lending out so the shorter the better.

Not sure if it's mild or stainless either.

It is magnetic - does that help?

Cheers,

Not really, some grades are magnetic and some are not.





DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

I think all cats are stainless, they get so hot that mild steel would rot away in no time.

Makes sense as it looks rusty, but more "tainted" on closer inspection.

Cheers.

Off to see MK Engineering in the morning so will see what ends he "can" do.

If not, that linky from NS Dev it is.

Damn tasty bit of kit you've got there. I just hope that at least one part of my build ends up like that!

Too cold to go back in the garage now!

Give me a couple of weeks to get the chassis and full cage painted and nice to look at.
