Downpipe / Decat questions

[seatcupra]

Been looking at this item on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayIS...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

Has anyone purchased this item?

Does this downpipe have a larger bore than the standard downpipe on a LC 180?

Would I notice a big difference after fitting it?

Should it fit without any problems/ anything else I need to buy to fit it?

Are there any issues afterwards with error codes or lights?

Car has been remapped already and has a custom cat back exhaust. 2.5" bore I think!

Cheers
Scott

Lots have used it
Massive compared to standard
Yes you'll notice the difference
Dog bone mount might be needed as the engine rocks and this may hit the dog bone mount tightens it right up
you'll need a spacer for the second lamba available on ebay you might get the light, you might not

Here's a pic of a 2 1/2" compared to standard

When I fitted mine I took pictures of the bore differance they're in the link above.

The standard Downpipe is so restrictive its unreal.

Hope this helps

Cheers for the reply Lee.

What determines whether you get the lights or not? Is it just a case of restting when/ if it comes on? Any running issues when its on?

Do you have a link to the correct spacer that I'd need?

Cheers again

 

[LEE69]

Chances are you will, very few don't get the light
No running issues

You don't NEED it but it's definitely advised makes a huge improvement!

For the £15 it's going to cost you you won't regret it. I think my doggone pictures are page 2 and 4 lol

Back to the downpipe and decat... Is it 2.5" or 3" I need???

 

[cupra-barn]

Mines a 3" I believe

 

[seatcupra]

I'm now thinking of a sport cat as I'm no wanting the light on the dash, it would also save some hassle come M.O.T time

 

[LEE69]

That's what I did.I got a 200 cell cat but it's been said 100 cell pass ok.

 

[seatcupra]

What make did you go for Lee?

 

[LEE69]

Pass, got a low mileage one of ebay

 

[seatcupra]

Ive found a new Blueflame 2.5" downpipe and sports cat online for £360 or a Piper for £400

Can't find anything cheaper than that....

Doesn't mention if it's a 100 or 200 cell cat, wouldn't imagine there would be a noticable difference between the two.

I'm coming very close to hitting the "but it now" lol

 

[Phillc]

"But" it now LOL, just noticed you live near Glasgow now it all makes sense.

 

[wezy0]

this is what i got.

an the 3" down pipe off ebay.an pass mot.

It was a deliberate mistake too see if people were paying attention

I like to do some research and shopping about before spending my hard earned cash mate
