Is there any threads videos or websites to give me more info on this subject?
Heard it sounds like an owl and well... im interested to say the least :laugh:
-
owl sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ2qKGJSugs)
-
And if i got a decat thats what mine would sound like :grin:
Other than that no real gains or improvement?
Today i changed my bulbs :cry:
Easy to do the job but still could be aloteasier lol.
Also sprayed my backbox and spare wheel buldge satin black so they dont stand out :smiley:
-
some do some dont. mine is louder but Adams doesnt do it :undecided:
Midrange is better and the turbo spools up quicker
Tidy :cool:

And it holds the power for longer
There are some graphs in my project thread showing the difference between the standard cat and the decat :nerd:

Any ideas on years, ages or anything that might be a factor to that?
To be honest the gains are good enough to go for one, just need to find a cheap one or a second hand one :)

Not really sure why Adam's doesn't owl :undecided: Think his is an 03 plate, mine was a 51 and Steve's was a 52 plate.
Mind you since my turbo was replaced it didn't owl either :sad:
THS provide adaptor sleeves so ideal if you're fitting it to the standard exhaust.
Milltek you'll have to buy one separately from Jetex
-
Great bit of info there :)
(P.s who/what is THS?)
Sorry to hear your owl died :(
Also ive seen a few vids of straight through pipes and you can here turbo whistle constantly, wouldnt that get on your tits after5 minutes?

is it not easier to just get a pipe welded in place instead of paying 140?
i might do that if its possible

Do what you want :wink:
Just make sure its good quality steel :afro:
-
well im only decatting till i can afford a full system, but id prefer not to pay 140 quid for something that could maybe be done for alot less.
what are your opinions?

I paid for the Milltek downpipe. Was fitted in less than an hour and gave very good gains through the mid range.
In hindsight I would have gone for the THS one as they provide adaptor sleeves whereas I had to buy a sleeve separately from Jetex as usefully Milltek don't provide an adaptor to fit the downpipe to the stock system, yet they provide an adaptor to fit the catback to a standard CAT :undecided:
I originally had the downpipe fitted to the stock system but later upgraded to a full system.
If you've got a decent exhaust place near you I'd get some quotes from them :afro:

If anyone knows of a tdi decat being sold can they drop me a message please :)
