Hi all

im also after a Decat pipe (replacing standard cat and mid pipe).

i know japspeed do one, but is there going to be an issue where the lamba sensor is? or can it be adapted to fit, so there wont be any warning lights?

thanks Smile

There's this one on eBay which a few members have and seem to rate quite highly...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310382440708?s...1423.l2649

That's actually one with a sports cat in it, but they do one exactly the same with an empty chamber where the sports cat goes, so it still looks like you have one Wink

By putting a decat in doesn't make a difference to you lambda sensor, that's in the next part of the exhaust by the silencer. All it will do is put a warning light on your dash because the cat isn't doing its job! Well it thinks that, it doesn't know you have removed it! I bought a sports cat one and had a welder take out the cat and weld in straight pipe for £40.00.
Only issues with this job is the old bolts on the old system are generally funked! They need angle grinding out. Hope this helps dude, let me know how you get on Smile

No that is only the cat section of the exhaust, u still have a mid section and back box after that.

There's no point in getting a sport Cat as with the new MOT rules it will fail regardless as any car that should have a cat HAS TO have one fitted. Its better to buy a complete decat (cheaper then sports cat) and just put the cat back on for MOTs.

I have the Toyosport De-cat sounds amazing with my Japspeed Cat back.

Be warned as said above you can get a warning light it varies I don't but others have

Yes mate that's it, and its cheaper then the other one,

As said buy a pack of bolts and washers to replace the other ones think I used M10-12 bolt.

If the light comes on there is a way to remove the fault but I have haven't done it as I don't have the fault.

I believe it was the member Dimis who sorted it.

Remember to keep ur cat to one side for MOT time
