Exhaust downpipe removal mk2

[tarmac terrorist]

Got there eventually. Seems that you fit both heatshields. Well I say fit I mean locate them and then spend ages trying to get the downpipe into position.
Now all that remains I'd to get the rounded nut off the manifold.
Oh the joy of it all

The sound will make it all worth it

There are no upgrades it's just that both primary cats shat themselves

Ah I see. Well getting it all back working will make it all worth it then.


You not considered the full decat? You've already done most of the work and, as Matt will confirm, the sound is unbelievable...

Full de cat is not really an option without a remap as the ecu will not cope without proper lambda readings
Cats from collector could go as they have no hego sensor but it's my daily commuter so asap is the order of the day.
tbh if you are going to the effort of decat then manifolds are shite so better to do them first

Good info, cheers. Not thought further than the collector cat decat at mo. Didn't realise a full straight through would need a remap. Another thing to add to the shopping list then!!!
