I´m about to fit a decat uppipe. Can I just disregard the egt probe
and plug the hole as not to destroy it. I would like to keep it in good condition if I should need it later on. I know I´ll have to install a 2.2 ohm resistor but where and how please?

Thanks in advance

Its 2.2 K ohm and must be rated at over 1 watt. Yes, you could just block the hole if using the resistor. Our up pipes come with a stainless bung for this purpose.

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately I didn´t buy your exhaust. Had I done so I wouldn´t have to replace my downpipe every time I´m going to MOT, but could just stick in the original last cat. Why didn´t anybody on here tell me that a Magnex downpipe would replace both cats in one go?hmm! Well my own fault I guess. I should have checked better before buying. On the other side, now I´m sure to pass MOT since I´ll have to go there with two cats.

How does this resistor thing look like? Went to the local eletronics shop and the different models they showed me certainly didn´t look like they would fit into the female connector for the EGT sensor. The thing he showed me looked like a little bug with its two thin iron legs. Am I supposed to U bend those two legs and solder them into the female connector or just plug them in there somewhere. When I unplug the male from the female it looks more like a fuse shaped thing will fit there.

Confused.

Just U bend the legs of the resistor and insert them into the female connector (one leg in each hole). You might need to shorten the legs a bit if they are too long. Then put some isolating tape on top of the connector to help keeping the resistor in place and to avoid dirt to get in.

Thats great. Thanks a lot.
