Clean & De-cat Fitted

[ArchiNaked]

Hi All,

Thought it would post some recent pics after i gave her a wee clean and have had the cup spoiler, Xenons fitted and fitted the de-cat pipe today.

Took a while to be honest but im not the most mechanically minded just like to give it a go.

Bought a Draper Cutter which done a great job just got to keep at it and be patient as it takes a while to cut through. Only problem I had was getting the lambda sensor out as you can see in some pics. Eventually had to take it to a local garage to heat up the bolt and it came off no probs.

What next! Hmmmm...........

Looking good dude!

Get a video up of the exhaust!

Nice mate. Yea get a video up. Please tell me you used axle stands.

 

[Massey]

looks nice mate, as the others have said get a video up!

Decat on the standard exhaust? I wanted to do this so would really appreciate a video.

How does it drive now? Have you noticed the flat spot most people say comes with decatting?

 

[ArchiNaked]

I will get a video up of a wee run and just the noise from outside but need to be 2mo as its raining now! Lol.

I have only taken it a short run and didn't feel sny flat spot. I actually felt it wasnt jerky on first start up but will get a better idea 2mo again.

And yes i used axel stands which took most the weight! Lol

Very nice indeedy red is growing on me

 

[Curley]

Is it a make of decat or have you just ordered some stainless pipe work?

 

[ArchiNaked]

Its a k-tec de-cat as it fits standard pipes. Was going to go for a milltek and make it fit but saved any hassle.

Nice one! Is it an easy job, swapping the parts around?

What's it sound like? Do you get any popping?

I doubt itll sound much different to a 197 with a decat on a standard system :evil:

Are you going to keep the clamps pointing downwards? I'd be worried they'd hit those silly box speed bumps.

You coming to the Scottish March meet ?

As requested.

The clamps aren't the lowest part of the car and its easier to get to them if they bond tight with the heat.

Wont make the meet as im away that weekend.

Also took it for another wee run today. No flat spots found. No jeryness at all either. Win win!

Nice, sounds a lot better when the engine is under-load. Good work mate!
