Wanted: Rear Silencer for Type 4 with cat USA

Hi,
Anyone got a USA spec silencer for sale for Lately 2.0cc 1977 , the one with the cat that fits to it .
Many Thanks Mike

 

Vwheritage sell them, do you need a cat as well? They do cat replacement pipes as you don't need one in the UK, they were put on for the USA market for emissions only

 

No , I don't need a cat , it's just the silencer that's got a couple of holes in it , I reckon I could probably get away with welding them up to be fair, it's in good nick apart from that .

Get rid of cat as well:

I didn't think you could just get rid of the cat without getting the engine re set up again , I've heard there's a sensor near to it .

 

Nah its a very dumb system, IF you have a lamda sensor it will be before the cat

 

Let me double check that though

 

Late Cali engines had a lamda/oxygen sensor I don't think a 77 will have one though.

 

Right ok thanks, I thought it was a bit early for that type of technology but I'm certain I'd read it somewhere about sensors been near to the cat

 

Yeah it was all for emissions in america quite advanced for the year. But don't worry about it. Get rid of cat for definite

 

Perfect place to put in a wideband lamda and gauge so you can assess engine tune and performance

 

whereabouts are you mike i,ve got one new but i don,t know if i,m gonna use it yet

 

I'm in Brough, East Yorkshire approx 10 miles to the west of hull

 

i should be able to say if its available within a week or so hopefully got another replacement to fit (if it fits) when i get the chance
Wont be cheap though still in its original packing - bonus though is i,m just across the water in grimsby

 

Ok Ron, if you could send a pic when you decide if your selling , I've got a friend from work that lives in cleethorpes.
Regards Mike

 

Which type of system do you have:

 

Yes , that's the one in the pic , it's just the silencer that I need with gaskets if you have them
