FYI: Cat Code Plug removal on 52 BCR
Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 2:47 pm
Also, just for the record ... took the cat code plug (dark yellow) off my 52-plate BCR (Y-piece, K&N, standard cans) to see what happened.
I would like to report back that it "feels" a lot stronger and smoother (also reduces the feeling of extreme snatch when I come off the gas at low speeds) ... but unfortunately it also leads to the most herrendous occasional backfires. So I have put it back in.
I assume the backfiring is due to an over-rich mixture? Although the Y-piece and K&N would mean leaner running.
All good fun, H27.
PS: Apologies for mention of "extreme snatch" ... but I think we might get a few more hits once the search engines pick it up
