| Replacement 
RV8 cats some good news
 
 Most 
RV8 enthusiasts will face the prospect of replacing their exhaust catalysts over 
the next few years but will experience a sharp intake of breath on learning the 
MG Rover price! Well the good news is Clive Wheatley has been beavering away and 
found a source of good quality stainless steel replacement cats which he can supply 
at very much more attractive prices.

 Clive's 
supplier has sourced these replacement cats with the correct offset pipework connection 
as the original unit - they are not just a run of the mill after-market cat. They 
are also fitted with the threaded boss at the back of the cat for the exhaust 
sensor required for Japan spec RV8s. A blanking plug is supplied for UK spec cars. 
When fitted, they provide the same ground clearance as the original units. The 
replacement cats are made of good quality stainless steel.

 |   The price differential between the two cats is because the right-hand 
cat has a longer, cranked pipework connection to the tailpipe and silencers. (Diag: 
RV8 Repair Manual AKM7153ENG)
 
 Complete RV8 replacement exhaust 
systems will be available soon from Clive Wheatley mgv8parts
 Clive can 
already supply replacement exhaust manfolds and downpipes to a slightly modified 
design which avoids the need for an engine removal. With the cats and tailpipe 
and silencers he has only one piece of pipework to source following which the 
whole system will be on offer.
