Just recived me prodrice sports cat downpipe and there is no hole for a lamba sensor, i may be wrong but do i have a lamba sensor on the original downpipe if so how do i go about getting ride of it so i can fit the prodriced one ?

RS74

first of all don't you mean PRODRIVE... and there should be a hole for up stream sensor on the down pipe (closest to turbo) and a hole for down stream at the other end ... where did you buy it from !

you can just remove it mate it just messures cat efficencie it will give you a CEL though which could be mapped out or fit a resistor
there is no hole in your prodrive cat as the lamda sensor is after the second cat which you should be able to remove and still pass an MOT

On a bugeye you have a lambda sensor on the exhaust manifold just ahead of the up-pipe and one on the third cat. If you have a prodrive sport cat you will only be replacing the downpipe which on bugs had no lambda fitted. On later newages they moved the lambda into the downpipe.

yes fella but mine does not have the blank for the lamba but with what has been said i can just remove it or mine does not have one as it could be on the manifold,

this is mine

This is the bugeye manifold (albeit wrapped and not with the factory heatshield)



This can be seen from the drivers side wheelarch by removing the small inspection panel. If you have a lambda here you have nothing to worry about.

You can also trace the wiring from under the boost solenoid cover (drivers side strut) down to the lambda
