I was planning on giving Millers a try, but I just read on SIDC FAQ that using these can damage your cat.

does anyone have any thoughts/comments on this?

is this only prolonged use?

I think it says on the bottle,that if a cat is on the car,to only use 1 bottle a tank and that if fully decatted,2 bottles may be used per tank.

Cheers T-UK

Can't use the search at the mo - can anyone who has used millers please tell me what their thoughts are

Is there a noticable gain in power?

do you need to reset ECU on my99, I don't want to wait 2 tanksfulls as I'm not planning on using it all the time

I've used Millers in mine for some time now. I always use it, so have never bothered reseting the ECU (mines a 99 also).

Used both when car did have cats and now without any with no problems at all. I do think that Millers make another product which can be used for full de-catted systems (try looking on the Scoobymania site), but I've never tried this.

As far as power goes, I know that the last time I ran it on a rolling road, the operator thought that the fueling (SUL and booster) would've had an effect on the bhp etc. I guess in the end it's just down to what you think.

I've been using Millers for about 10K now in my '00, no probs. Engine seems smoother and mpg went up slightly.

1 bottle per tank with Cat, says on the label.

Scoobymania is the cheapest place I've seen it.

With PPP good gains are seen between nul + sul, would this mean that better results yet would be seen with millers?
