One for the 1.8 8v owners
« on: 12 October 2012, 19:16 »
Been thinking about a de-cat for my adz , but couldn't find one let alone a good price .

So my plan is to go down the scrap yard find 1.8's (mine has the cat part of the down pipe ) unbolt the down pipe , cut the pipe of just before the cat , weld the required pipe on and ta daaa a de-cat

Now wondering as I'm at it , and if it works successfully would anyone be interested in me making them one up and selling them it ?

Now that's more like the encouragement I expected from you guys

Like I said not looking for gains or anything just like to fiddle and see what I can do without ruining an expensive car ,
