Default RCM 3" Ceramic Coated De-cat Downpipe

Hi guy's,

I've been looking at buying a 3" Roger Clark Motorsport de-cat downpipe which has been Zircotec ceramic coated.

Would anyone know the difference between this and a standard de-cat?








Thanks!

Really all depends on quality, as we all know RCM has a great reputation for their products.
Wrapping or ceramic coating is as good as each other tbh

It will be a quality item but is the rest of your exhaust from RCM? I am unsure of the compatibility with other makes

As I've found out the hard way in the past RCM exhaust systems are not compatible with any other manufactured ones!

I had the exact same downpipe fitted and my existing 3" exhaust system wouldn't fit properly and neither would a h&s system... So I had to bite the bullett and buy the rest of the system from RCM, however it was worth it's as the RCM build quality is second to none!!

Hope this helps

Thanks for your info guys, really useful!

I have a Full 2.5" RCM exhaust system from the de-cat pipe which I currently have on it. I spoke to the guys at RCM, and they said all I'd need is a 3" gasket to fit the centre section to the downpipe.
