De-cat downpipes?

Post by DanW »

After one blown exhaust that got "fixed" another problem seems to have surfaced, looks like another whole in the exhaust. This time in the back of the cat (am I right in thinking it's straight after the manifold with the sensor stuck into it?).
I'm thinkin of de-catting it now it's registered in '91, does anyone have and idea how much is this going to set me back?

Thanks,
Dan

you could buy one off of me 8)

I will be getting a Pitstop one in two weeks and so mine will be up for sale. Cost me £90 from VAG, only been on less than a year, £60?

One from a G40 won't fit unless you fit the manifold too.

I used to have a supplier of them for me, but I am in talks with a new supplier now (see manifold thread in my section). So the new year might bring them back into production.

just the man I was thinking about. Do you have any spares left Dan? I need it this week if possible, I'm going back to uni on the 7th and need it fitted before that obviously.

you'd need to have a small section welded in plus a thread for the lambda probe. From what i remember people saying hardhitter knocks em out at, doesnt really seem worth it!
