Sensor? have you got the diesel or petrol?

 

[jamest87]

sorry should of said yea the sensor, its a petrol mate... there is one in the cat...

You will have one before and after. The rear one will need to read correctly (which it wont) or its going to throw up an engine management light unless its mapped out. Buit either way if you get pulled over by one of these..

You will have to have it put back to standard before you can drive it again as it wont pass an MOT.

thats what puts me off a decat.

diesels still pass MOT with a decat

 

[jamest87]

so it will have to be mapped out???

yep. just get a 3" downpipe with 200 cell sports cat. mine pops and bangs like a good un and its less hassle than a decat.

were are the diesel decat pipes available from?

miltek is the on e people on here seem to go for, otherwise go custom.

Get it quick also. They will soon have to pass the same type approval as OE cats to expect them to either get alot more expensive or become a thing of the past.

yeah the chap that fitted mine said the rules were changing again.

does the 3" down pipe fit on the k03s???

 

[Scott-o]

As said, one before and one after the cat. I've just ordered one for mine. Sorted with the mapper for increasing the limits of the sensors and sorted with mot. Got a resonated catback though so it's abit more conspicuous haha

yep, mines 3". fitter had a right game with it!

 

[Copey]

Im right ion thinking the decat helps the turbo spool quicker and gives a deeper noise??

 

[jamest87]

yep, mines 3". fitter had a right game with it!

so it the flange the same side as the k03s??

thought it would be 2.5" fair play though mate...

right decat them map i suppose!!!
