I've got a decat downpipe to be fitted to my classic, what happens to all the wires attached to the current downpipe with cats?

What age classic? The early ones only had a cat temperature sensor (sometime called a cat-on-fire sensor). This just gets cable tied out the way as it is not needed. I know later classics are different, but I've never de-catted a later classic.

if the lamba is up top then you need a down pipe with the boss on it to refit in the new down pipe,as above though if its only the cat on fire lead then just cable tie out of the way mate

I'm really not sure if the Lambda sensor is located there, I'm not mechanically minded at all to be honest, trying to get the downpipe and center section changed but on a budget. This month has been a real headache!

Thanks for the replys lads.

By the way anyone know somewhere local to West London that may change it cheaply?

Cheers

From what I remember 5 years ago when I did mine (1995 WRX), the Lambda sensor was further back in the centre section (definately not in the downpipe). I cable tied the temp sensor out of the way and had to plug a sensor hole in the de-cat down pipe with a short bolt.

The worst part of the job was removing the bolts/nuts where it attaches to the turbo. It was a nightmare from what I remember. I have also read on here about people shearing off studs on the turbo, so if you aren't 100% sure it may be worth biting the bullet and paying someone who knows what they are doing to do the job.

Cool cheers lads, trying to raise some cash by selling some bits and pieces to take it to a garage unless anyone is interested in doing the job for some cash?
