decat problems???
ive had a second decat put on today (the middle section on a 97 2.0 sport) and it sounds awful, far to much baffle?? the 1st cat was taken off before i had the car so i dont no what diffrance that made to compare it to??
so is this a common problem or simply a faulty decat???
many thanks.

describe the noise it makes? shouldnt sound awful and its a better free flowing exhaust with no cats in it better power gains and it sounds like its a faulty decat if you say it sounds awful either that or your too fussy

lol its not a blowing sound like its got a leak, its more like a old motor bike, its started poping when im slowing down which i quite like but when i put my foot down its sounding very ruff, when it only had one de cat it sounded very smooth although it was still agressive sounding? im sorry, i cant think what to compare it to, its a shame i cant record it?

its not a de cat like you could buy off ebay, i had a pipe fitted to replace it by a powerflow dealer? so its been welded on rather than fitted with spring loaded joints/ fittings? dont no if that would make a diffrance?

has it made it sound very tinny/rough sounding ,the girlfriends sport sounded like this with the afterburner bk box fitted on her sport ,it sounded even worse when it was cold .i fitted a ninja back box and made the sound deeper,i have always found stainless has a tinny noise any how.do you have the unequal length headers on too

have you bolted a turbo system onto the sport system as these are 2 different sizes ,also check the headers where they bolt onto the head as the threads on the sports a very weak and they might have disturbed it so its blowing a little,
my advice is put the cat bk on,get a custom centre section made up so it mounts onto a turbo 2 1/2" back box and go for a scoobyworld racebox or ninja and you will get the sound you are after it may help to wrap the headers too ,you just need to dampen the sound a little

its not got a turbo on it? and the decat was costom made at a powerflow dealers? i was told that if a put a turbo on it that i would have problems with the head gasket as the engin isnt designed or tuned for that sort of bhp?
