De-cat Question...

[Guest]

would I be better paying an extra £100 and getting a mongoose exhaust system ?? Considering I don't know if my aftermarket exhaust is stainless steel or not. It came fitted to the car, but I don't know what make it is.

Or how about the Aussie Exhaust High flow downpipe for £233... is this basically a decat pipe ?

Now I'm confused...

the exhaust, decat pipe, of high flow downpipe.

This is how I understand it :

From the Turbo, you have a Downpipe, then a CAT and then the Exhaust ..

An aftermarket downpipe usually replaces the CAT too.

I didn't bother with an aftermarket, as they are known as being a PITA to take off from the turbo end as the bolts are usually rusted solid. I got the garage to just knock the CAT out of the pipe (Took about 2 hours - with a crowbar and mallet) when I got my new exhaust.

The Aussie pipe is a new downpipe and CAT pipe I think, and it's slightly higher flow than stock (larger curves, and larger diameter). I have known people have problems with fitting the pipe and then having problems with their actuators (as it's all a bit cramped down there) but couldn't tell you how it was resolved.

I'd speak to people at Millway/Owens ..

They are the guys who will have fitted these and will know of any problems.

maybe give IMOC a search .. I remember someone saying something about Aussie pipes but can't remember what.

Fensport said no probs with it.

They said Aussie pipe has more flow where the BLitz is quieter... who wants quiet ??? lol
