ayy-up mester, put a drop of bio in that should fix itluv chesh'
Lol, long time no talk Nic,,, how's things?
the price of diesel has finally equalled that of petrol here,,, I deffo need to come to an alternative,,, I know sssstew has a long experience with svo and my same engine but I'm still a bit of a p***y when it comes to experiment with my car,,,
Has anyone else notice a mega drop in MPG after mufflerectomy?
Mine has decreased by about 10MPG acording to my dash. ???
I struggle to get 38MPG now doing sunday driving and thrashing it gives me 26MPG (44MPG & 36MPG before) :s, even pulling away from junctions is telling me i'm only getting 16-19MPG.
Hope this improves or i'd be better off getting a Cupra R.

yeah my mpg has dropped quite a bit, i think its because im revving it more to hear the exhaust, but even so a good 5mpg loss.
Sat in my car now with VAG-COM. No faults, i'm going to try clear the non-existant fault codes to see if it will clear the trims etc.
Might do some logs too. Something just isnt right after my exhaust chop. 151 miles on this tank so far and its on 3/4 full, I used to be on more like 170-180 miles and thats with a spirited drive. I'm stuck to driving like a 80yr old at mo, MPG is still reading low.
i usually get about 150-180 town driving, bypasses and bits of fun to about 20 or 25quid (20L) doesnt bother me as my astra g which had full catback was running 120 miles to a 20quid note :d
Anyone know if this log looks right?
Started logging at 20mph, booted in 3rd. Don't think its a long enough log? Finding it hard to find a flat long road here that isn't busy.

Thats really weird mate. Have you tried a battery reset? You really shouldnt see a drastic drop at all as its just making the exhaust system more free flowing.
Done a ECU reset last night, seems to have claimed back some of my lost MPG.
What MPG does your computer read if you plant it in 2nd on a flat road (2500-3500RPM)?
If your looking at real time statistics don't forget they will vary depending weather conditions i.e. temperature, load on the car, type of fuel you are using...Also I have a different map than you so my one might be more or less fuel hungry.
I will check for you today (if i get to drive

Well I managed to get one sorted in the end before my MOT, was £150 for a cat-back with no boxes and is 50mm diameter. Went to silver systems in stoke, he is a powerflow registered dealer. It sounds good, deeper than it did before and not too loud and you get a nice bit of turbo whistle
I would say it feels to pull away a lot better, faster through revs. Overall i'm happy with it!

Re-visiting an ancient thread but as I would like to do this I just want to clear this up. So basically I want to ask to have my rear backbox chopped off and replaced with a stainless steel 2.25" straight pipe with a tip of my choice on? Leaving the central box and cat in place? Also will this bring up any fault lights etc that need vag-com'ing out?
