Hello Everyone,
Anyone fitted a downpipe to a ppp'd MY00 as i
was considering changing mine but wasnt sure of the consequences, also which brand is best as there are a few to choose from??

thanks

marty

 

Hi Marty
I had the same question with you...
Look in a previous thread from "kevin r m" called "Prodrive Exhaust De-cat Options".
If you don't find it I can send it to you by e-mail.
Regards Jim

 

I did it to mine, stunning results both performance and audible, and no downsides, no problems - do it

I went for the Falkand one

 

Hi Gary,
I was thinking of the falkland dp myself,saw
one on the dyno page and the results looked
good,
Not sure on who will fit it though I'll have
to ask around.

cheers

Any (half) decent auto-shop will be able to fit it. Where in Cheshire are you? ABP are very good (Crewe Jct 16 M6), as are C&K in Manchester/Stockport.

Saying that - my dealer fitted mine

 

Doesn't fitting the downpipe also involve removing the one cat that's left after the PPP? What happens come MOT time?

I have the PPP on my MY00, and whilst I drool over the performance gain shown by the car with PPP and downpipe on dyno.scoobynet.co.uk I would prefer to keep it legal

Here in CH the original centre section (with baby cat) gets you past an emmissions check once engine is warm

I had boost-cut a couple of times after fitting an SS d/p. But I appear to be the exception, not the rule. It only happened on very cold days in winter.

This can be fixed, apparently, via the fitment of a 2nd restrictor to try and improve the cr*p stock boost control system. BRD helped me - and I've soon to take their advice with winter around the corner

Yes - the d/p removes the Cat - just need to replace it come MOT time

You have to make a choice legal or 'fun'
