i bought one of these off ebay, DOES NOT fit, on my atempt at fitting it one evening at 5pm thinking it wouldnt take too long, i was still up at 3am putting the standard cat back in. did get me money back tho so that wasnt too bad, it bolted on the turbo but was catching some thing. ;)

as long is it has the power, i dont mind. I have another car for long journeys so the sound dont bother me. However "sport" the cat is on performance downpipes, it will always restrict flow, especially the more tuned up the car is

Also, im not trying to be funny by my comments or anything, it just winds me up when ive said its 3 inch and people question? What reason would i have to lie?

i thought de-cats on the cupras brought up an engine light? becauswe the 2nd lamba sensor is reading same as the first whereas it shud be reading less after its been through the cat? correct me if im wrong

it will. you have get it map to tell the ecu that the second lambda probe is not there. revo stage two will do it for you which is what most people do.

There are other ways round it but a map will always be best

not really, i have a 100 cell race cat on my ibiza and it made 256bhp on jabba rollers with K03s. Jabba sport actually said my car would make less power with a de-cat :D give them a ring.
