Ibiza MK3 1.8t De-Cat Pipe

[20vt CUPRA]

Hi, Does anyone know of a company who manufactures de-cat pipes as i havent been able to find one. I have found the de cat pipes for the golf and beetle 1.8t which use the same turbo. Would they fit dierct

 

[Forbez]

no.

So the only way to get a de-cat pipe made is to take your own off or source a second hand one and get the cat removed?

 

[Forbez]

or search

a de-cat pipe isn't really the best option, a sports cat would be better from the likes of blueflame or milltek. they are a right tw*t of a job to fit and you might throw up a fault from the second lambda

Cheers. Im fairly new to the forum and still finding my way round lol. I shall remember that for future referance.

i dont think you can run a de cat pipe i thought it just puts faults on the car and doesnt run properly

 

[PhilW]

You can if you have it remapped to suit the de-cat, e.g. Revo stage 2.

im running de-cat on IHI as said above remapp takes care of that.. sounds bloody awesome

 

[cupra collins]

oh rite didnt no that can you get it to flame with a de cat

 

[Trig Boy]

a-ha, i have revo stage 2, maybe a de-cat is the way forward, might even see a flame or two

 

[carlisle pete]

oh yes it spits flames!!! lol

 

[gavthelad]

and your also gonna need a friendly mot tester if you want it to pass.......failing that, you could remove it each time and fit the standard one back on but then that doesnt eliminate spot checks if ever you were to come across one.

 

[Trig Boy]

who made your de-cat pete, and what diameter is it? longlife in swansea told me not to go for larger than 3" bore, i'm all confused

 

[PhilW]

2.5 inch for up to 250 is ok, 3" beyond that i reckon.

 

[blackie]

Do the VW golf ones not fit? i have seen them on ebay for about a ton, quality is an unknown quantity tho.....

Ignoring the remap/MOT issues
"Qpeng" (just type it into Google) do a custom de-cat down pipe for the mk2 20v conversions & this fits straight onto a mk3 ibiza cost is usually £200 but there is an offer on at £160 if you buy online atm.

I've Also Had Mine De-cated Few Months Ago-Bin Good So Far, Sounds Sweet, Pops and Occasionally Spits Blue Flames, Had The MOT Done 2 Days Ago So Had To Put The Cat Back On (Bolt On Bolt Off). Cost Me 50 Notes To Have It Done, Puttin It Back On Tomorrow
