I have recently fitted a de cat pipe to my disco, although performance has improved dramatically I now get an annoying stop go stop go when I reach around 45 mph, as if the fuel is being switched of then on again, only for a few seconds then it clears as I progress in speed .
Was this a problem u had at all when u replaced ur cat with a straight through pipe? If so do u have a fixing solution. I was thinking that maybe the engine management needs remapping to compensate the new pipe?
Cheers mate hope ya can help..:-)
