Catalyst off! - Toyota Aurion, 3.5L, 2007
Today one of the three catalysts has been removed from my Aurion. The master who removed the kat for me made cups from the shock absorber pipe from the BMW so that it would not rattle. I made incisions in the cups in the form of gills. The car has become easier to accelerate.
After removal, drove to a gas station, refueled 92. On the way home, I wanted to check the acceleration from the spot, whether the removal of the kata affected the acceleration. I’m standing there… waiting for the green light of the traffic light, and then it lit up, I didn’t even think to be baigovat with someone. Throttle to the floor and rapid acceleration, the roar of the engine and another roar of the engine on the left. In the side mirror I see a Mercedes in the 220 body quickly catching up with me, but in an instant my Aurion got a second wind and drove forward swiftly. The speedometer was 140 km / h, but the gelding did not catch up, let alone overtook. I so hoped that the gelding would overtake me or catch up with me, but he never overtook me. I never found out what kind of engine it had: 600, 500, 430, 350 or 320.
