De-cat Pipe

May 27, 2007

Hello all, had the 'rolla in for its m.o.t the other day, failed as suspected but mostly small things as the tester dude was a picky bugger. biggest job is as bit o welding needing done on the o/s sill by the rear wheel. Any way i was thinking that if it went through its mot, maybe fit a de-cat pipe to see if i can get a little more grunt. I know this quiestion has probably bin asked loads of times but i cant seem to find anything relating to my car when i do a search. Has anybody any experience fitting a de-cat to the 4A-FE enigne. IE is it worth it in terms of gains vs cost? Ive had a look on the net for a pipe for my car but so far havnt turned anything up, anybody know who does them or is it a custom build jobbie? Thanks for any input :thumbsup:

Hi natt are you on the Hampshire Jap Car Club by any chance?

ANYWAYS... about fitting a de-cat pipe, you might see a small gain in power, however when i fitted my decat on my old corolla it didnt really seem to make a huge amount of difference, somewhere like powerflow would do a custom decat pipe for around £60-80 so for the money/gain I would say its not worth it, if I had seen this post sooner I could have sorted you with a decat pipe as i had 2 but ive just sold them off to another corolla owner on the hampshire jap car club...

speak of the devil and he shall appear, i still have both the De-Cat pipes sparco_blues sold me if your interested? Ihave one for the 4E-FE engine and the afore mentioned Custom De-Cat pipe. There is not that great a difference between the two and both will fit the 4A and 4E engines as the exhaust. Neither of which i've fitted yet as my car has also failed its MoT :crybaby: so i'm taking this oppurtuity to put a larger engine in (the 7A-FE). so if you would like a De-Cat pipe i have one spare...
