downpipe & 200cell sports cat

[bo!]

I have just purchased a mk4 downpipe 200cell sports cat off ebay from direnza it said that it fits my engine code AUQ so should be fine.I was hoping to get some feed back from anyone that has used these to see if the downpipe and sports cats are any good??

Short answer: yes.

How big is the downpipe? 2.5" or 3"? 3" DP is recommended, this will increase power and torque, the turbo is able to breathe more freely.

Im driving with a 3" Toyosports DP (decat originally), modded with a Magnaflow 200cpi sportscat. I passed MOT (in NL) a couple weeks ago, and the sportscat + dp allow me te drive around with 261BHp

Thanks for your reply nd-photo. nl
its 2.5" downpipe and sports cat comes as a complete unit no modification needed just a direct swap .good to no the 200cell cats are good for MOT time .do you get a EML with a 200cell cat or is it ok.i was hoping that somebody had fitted one of the downpipes with the cat all ready built in from e bay to see what there opinions are.

No prob (you can always add to my reputation, click the scale ).

No EML with 200 cells cat, I had one when driving decat, but that was solved using a lambda spacer. I think I know which DP+cat you are referring to, but it might be best if you posted a link + picture.

Bigger DP will give noticable gains, dont know if the cat is any good. The Magnaflow I have, is also used in the 42 Draft Designs downpipe.

Advice needed.Had the downpipe fitted yesterday .unfortunatly never got to drive the car .I had a phonecall from the garege and they advised me to have it removed so i did.the mechanic said it was vibrating through a heat shield and steering rack was gutted becouse it looked like a good bit of kit .anybody had a similar issue is this something you can get around .???
