Default Fitting decat downpipe

Hey guys.

Me and my buddy will be carrying some work on our cars at the end of the month.

One of the tasks is fitting a decat on my 99 facelift classic.

Anyone fancy giving us a hand. Will be in Romford. I will sort lunch out.

Not free to help at the mo Jay I'm afraid.
It's pretty straight forward, get plenty of plus gas on the fasteners about 24 hours or more beforehand. Also have some spare studs and nuts. They're metric fine thread. M10 x 1.25mm pitch.

Also be sure to get it mapped properly after.

Cheers. Can I use the car after I've sprayed the releasing agent? Or should I leave it standing?

Cheers mate.

As Frayz said new studs, just in case. I think you can pick them up off ebay. Also new gaskets, turbo to downpipe usually falls to bits
