Looking at full 3 inch decat system, (one on eBay for 190.00) will this bring any lights on. Also guessing it going to be very loud? Anyone got the system on there car, it be for bugeye Sti prodrive

 

i have a full 3 inch on my blob sti, no lights will come on but it will need a remap.

dont buy an egay exhaust as it will most likely be sh1te.

 

I have power flow and long life close to me but not sure on prices yet from them

 

Why will it need a remap?

 

 

 

De-catting removes the main restrictions in the exhaust so the spool characteristics of the tubo will change. The mapping will bring the characteristics back to a safe level and adjust the fuelling maps accordingly. Thus the car will not run lean and go bang.

 

I understand a remap will give it full benefits but will it be needed to install an system?

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

what he says

 

Different prespective, depending on who and how the map is done £300 to £650 for open source to Ecutek. £4000+++++ for a engine rebuild when it melts a piston due to detonation or overboosting due to not being mapped.

 

I spent nearly 6 months researching the options when I had my first tuning package done. I had also been reading (almost) every magazine article I could easily buy about tuning turbo's prior to buying the car and upto about 4 years ago.

 

eBay exhausts are cheap for a reason, they're shïte!

Go somewhere like Cobrasport for quality and price, or buy off one of the many breakers/tuners off here or tuning parts companies.

 

Bit researching now for tuner! Thanks for MSG guys

 

 

Where in Wales are you as someone will be able to point you in the right direction. NEVER be afraid to ask any question, yes you will get some ribbing but you will get the answers you are after. Once we were all new to Scoobies and have learnt by asking questions.

 

Like the carbon fibre but you missed a bit when you polished it. LOL

 

will i need a remap for a full decat exhaust on a 97 plate classic aswell chaps ?

 

i m too fat to fit under my car to polish exhausts

 

Mine gets dirty so quick can't be bothered anymore. If the jet wash don't shift it then tough.

 

South Wales

 

Much better exhausts out there than either of these. I've had a powerflow on 2 of my old cars (one bought like it) and can honestly say they were a major disappointment on performance and noise.

Also, as said already, steer clear of the awful cheap eBay exhausts!

I'm sure if you use the search function there will be ample exhaust threads that you can research to have a look at reviews, style, noise etc so you can find which suits you best

 

Not to put a dampner on things, but what about the MOT?

I read that if a car without a cat fitted, if the cat was fitted as part of the car's original spec, then it would be a MOT failure.

Obviously it's to stop people enjoying their cars.

 

Some people will refit there cats just for the mot and decat again after,,,,but the easiest way is to find a friendly mot center that will let it pass without having to swap over ,,,,

 

friendly mot centre.
join a local club and they will generally point you in the direction of one.

a fiver for a drink is a great help on payment for the mot

 

working in the motor trade helps

 

I'm sure there's a secret group on here that have formed just to wind up tubbytommy

If you're south wales try gving mattybr@poleposition a call and see what he has in stock. You should be able to get what you want fitted and an MOT at the same time.

 

Full decat should put on a cel, but when the car is remapped it will be disabled, think its p420 but not 100% sure as been a while since I looked
