im considering buying the DE-cat pipe for the janspeed manifold, and just curious to what

kind of gains would i get from this with it only being 58 quid ? easy to fit ?

and whats the noise level difference with this on ?

Decat will more than likely make a slight difference, possibly higher up in the rev range.

Noise will also increase. It wont be obscenely loud but just louder.

Im getting a manifold and decat in Feb anyway as well, dont care about the noise lol

Right i see,

haha, kool, to tell you the truth the manifold with high flow cat sounds amazing,

im just hoping with the de-cat pipe it just makes the same noise but a bit louder but no over the

top !, any one esle experienced the difference from manifold cat to de cat ?

posts are appriciated =] also advice :D

Well yeah you will smell petrol a lot now with a decat pipe as there is no cat reducing a lot of the combustion gases. Also yeah get a vid up or a sound clip!

Ive just sold one for £30 ....

This was on my MCS though, the reason the smell is that a CAT contains plutonioum that changes the harmful gases from toxic to safe IIRC without it, its just the pure gases.

I have no back seats and found no real gains for the need of it so i took it off at MOT time and sold it.
