Down Pipe & De Cat

The TT one definitely won't, it has different flanges to the LCR. I cannot confirm about the S3 though.

The LCR has 2-bolt flanges apart from the DP to Turbo flange which is 3-bolt. The TT has 3-bolt flanges all the way through.

My downpipe-cat flanges are 3-bolt? only the cat-cat back flange that is 2 bolt?

Sorry, I mean in terms of upgraded DP such as Blueflame 3" :), it goes from 3-bolt at Turbo, to 2-bolt at Cat/Decat, to 2-bolt at Cat-Back. The OEM one has 3-bolt flanges up until the start of the Cat-Back part.

The only problem I can see with using a TT DP & Cat/Decat is that you'd need to weld a new flange onto the end to match the LCR Cat-Back.

Ah no worries Jay; I wouldn't know as I still have standard crap DP!!

Scorpion are a fairly good brand so it should be ok however, that Decat is to fit onto the OEM DP only, it won't fit onto an aftermarket 3" DP should you buy one at a later date. In plain, it means that if you ever want to go to Stage 2, this decat will be of no use to you as you'll have to swap it for one that fits a 3" single pipe DP.

If you aren't ever planning on going to Stage 2 though, or not for a long time, then this might help free a few extra horses, or at least make the exhaust a bit louder.

I never had the eml light come on during the time I had my de-cat on, altho it prob had something to do with the fact I only screwed the lamba sensor in halfway. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought the lamba can only be mapped out when going stage2

All will become clear when you upgrade, I hadn't a clue either until 3wks back.

I see you're going to AMD tomorrow so you're more than welcome to see what an upgraded DO sounds like on an OEM system :)

That'd be good mate. I've just put my cat back on so my car sounds dull again! DP will have to wait for me; just spent out on water/meth kit :D
