Hello all.

I've searched everyone and can't really find any information regarding a butterfly valve on a diesel? Is not a good idea because carbon buildup would be very fast ultimately sticking the

 

valve one way? I just bought a 2005 3500 that I use for my personal truck as well as my tree service company I started this year. I have removed the catalatyc converter as well as the

 

silencer ring and air baffle on the turbo. I do a lot of in town work and would like to keep the quiet disposition of the truck while going to and from jobs but I also put a lot of miles on the

 

highway pulling very heavy loads of wood and saw chips. I think this set up would be ideal for me and my situation. Any help would be appreciated!

f**king kÜnts that drive decatted anything on the streets, let alone f**king 3500 series trucks spewing diesel soot all over the place can all go and f**k themselves and their sisters. And anyone who supports their right to do so can pull their pants down and wait in line too.

Spam bot shenanigans? Same post from 2014:

Yeah, it sticks a sneaky link into the quoted post. Though that original post looks like a real person. I hope he reconsidered it since.

for the record I do have a functioning cat 

but go back 10 years ago and a broomstick mod was  encouraged on this very forum! 

Probably the average age of everyone here has moved up a decade too and people have re-learned the lessons of the 50s and 60s. Only takes a small group of people decatting their cars to have a significant impact on local air quality.

Yeah I'd agree with that. My Gtst had a gutted cat. Made people sick behind me.

Now I'm keen to buy high flow dumps for the 335i and they're twice as expensive as the catless dumps! Its not surprising why people ditch them.

Btw, this looks familiar... https://www.cumminsforum.com/threads/butterfly-valve-on-exhaust.1342561/

Put the f**king catalytic converter back on it and stop being a f**king retard.

I don't think OP actually exists but I do like seeing you go off at it. :D

On the bots topic: I too was an idiot and decatted some, yeah, all, of my old street cars thinking that that would give me more powers

It did make the exhaust a little louder, and I may have gained a killerwasp or 2, but the fuel smell was fairly horrible 

He'll, the bogan cruise ship had 100 cell cats when I first got it, they did nothing for removing the stink

Replacing the 100 cell cats with some actual Euro spec ones fixed the stench

For a potential killerwasp or 2 running a decat on a street car is silly

And this guy doesn't want to kick you in the balls >

Euro 4 or 5 or 6 spec?

I'm heading down the same path (soon), however might do a 3" AES valve to bypass the cat/mid muffler and join back to the rear muffler if post turbine pressure creeps up.

Similar to this:

i.e. no Western Sydney GT-R mode

We have pretty loose emission laws here in NZ and I did not need a cat to keep my car legal…. However I may look to install one in the future as I’m hoping it will also remove a db or two from the volume of the exhaust.

If you get a chance to do before/after dyno runs when you throw the real cats in I would be super keen to see the results

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
