Title: 3" exhaust
Post by: Willows on 01 April 2013, 22:02

hey there all im on the last part ready for my remap but before puting the 3" ebay exhaust i want to get a sports cat for it
and was wondering if this would be the correct part for it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-76mm-Centre-200-Cell-Universal-Magnaflow-Metallic-Sports-Cat-59959-/110806135426?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cc8f7282

tbh there's really no point in having a 3" exhaust if you are going to restrict it with a cat.

As said your getting a 3" system for optimum flow and throwing a cat in it seems pointless.

Do what I do and just fit the standard system for mot purposes   :wink: it's only once a year

if you going down the sports cat route might be worth getting it welded so can swap between cat and original pipe without taking downpipe from turbo off.

sports cats are still a big improvement from the original and I passed 3 MOTs no problem with a 200cel

a decent front mount intercooler to get the most - Forge or THS are the easiest to fit and are full kits.

The most restricting part of the entire system is the downpipe. A 3" DP - sports cat - 3" cat back will be infinitely better than the standard system.

Yea prob get a cat sleeve just to be hassle free and Weres the cheapest place to get a intercooler
