De-cat'd mid-section
I have a UK MY97 car, and have a ScoobySport Downpipe and Backbox. I'd like to get a de-cat'd mid-section, but not sure which one to get!
Do people have preferences?? Cost? Fitting? (because some people shouldn't be allowed to use spanners, and I'm one of them!!)
Preferably in the Surrey area, but I'm willing to travel for good service!!
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
I've got a Magnex mid-section. About £100/£115 from memory - you need to shop around a bit. I also got it fitted - about £25 at a local exhaust place. Some of them will only fit their own stuff but, again, shop around until you find one that will swap the sections over.
Can't be fagged to do this myself - they have all the right tools/gaskets etc and it gets done in about 10 mins. Oh, and you don't get your hands dirty...

Chris,
You're right! I was going to wait until after the MOT in August, but I want flames!!
After seeing your post on it, I thought I have to get me one before the rolling road day!! Where did you get your's from?
Oh and how much was your rear spoiler? It looks top notch!!!
Cheers

Just an idea, but why dont you get your cars MOTed just before you fit your pipes, even if its not due for it it doesnt matter, it just meens a whole 12 mths before having to take it off again.
Just a thought!

I found the best option was the Scorpion two piece £69incl VAT + £9 P&P from Motech. Ring them on 01933 443390 ask for David.
It cost me £15 to get it fitted.
I couldn't find anywhere that still supplied the non-silenced Magnex pipe, and the silenced was more restrictive and £115+VAT!

Good suggestion mate. Only problem is that there is No guarantee that the car will pass the MOT with just the centre cat.
I might have found a guy who will pass the car fully de-cated!
As I think you mentioned, he knows that if I stick the DP on for MOT it will be coming straight off again afterwards.
Just want this crappy weather to clear now so I can get the Magnex on.

Andy,
Cheers for the comments on the Wing mate.
I'm well happy with the result. Cost wise, the spoiler is £500 + VAT + Painting/Fitting.
I had it fitted by my dealer whilst having the 30K Service. They charged £230ish for painting/fitting the spoiler and colourcoding the sideskirts and mirrors.

Akira, would you be willing to share the name of your chap who would possably do the MOT pass without cats? (Mailing me direct would be more discreet?).
Im just south of leicester, and my MOT is up next month so it would be a big help.
Cheers...James

Andy. Try ABP Motorsport near Crewe. Magnex unsilenced de-cat centre section - £65. Well made, and mates up perfectly to Scoobysport rear section. Fitted it myself in an hour. Well worth it!
