Yeah the stance adds alot to the car IMO, gives it a much more purposeful look.

Good choice if I must say

 

[matt88 lcr]

haha well im happy with there stage 1 and so cheap to go to there stage 2 it would b silly not to lol

got my big package fitted tonight i couldnt wait so happy with it lol

matt

 

[t0m]

What is the big package?! New exhaust?

Stage 2 beckons mate

 

[matt88 lcr]

yea got rid of the miltek wasnt loud enough for me got a nicecobra one now sound real nice managed o fit it and finished fittin it in the dark lol

got new top mounts to supersport ones as mine have gone and knockin like mad

matt

 

[t0m]

Nice

Is it sports or decat mate?

Good work on the mounts. It's getting a really quick transformation this car of yours

 

[matt88 lcr]

got a pipewerx 3in down pipe and sport cat on the car might get decat once its stage 2

matt

 

[t0m]

Decat's certainly add some noise mate

 

[matt88 lcr]

yea bit more raspy with decat the cobra is alot louder then the miltek i had i lile the sound of your piper but not a fan of the tip it looks alittle odd to me

hopefuly when it carboned up abit it will pop abit

matt

 

[t0m]

Yeah you will get the pops with the decat and a bit of sooting up and once the exhaust is fairly hot I'm sure it will...

I don't mind the Piper tip tbh, the inside looks more 'filled' than the Milltek but I may paint it with heat resistant paint yet or just leave it to get dirty and sooted up lol.

 

[matt88 lcr]

yea tht bit in the tip stands out abit sin one painted and looked better dont notice it so much

it should pop when stage 2 i recon deffo if get a decat as well

matt

 

[t0m]

Look forward the next update which must be stage 2

Mate is it the light on the right of the dash lights which has come up? Does the car still feel fine?

This will be he decat light, warning for emissions where the ECU is expecting the exhaust gases to go through a cat but they don't so it's throwing the light up.

Mine pops up now and then but it's harmless.

The error will say something along the lines of 'Catalyst system bank 1 efficiency blah blah blah' - it is very common after fitting a decat and harmless.

It can be mapped out or you can use a spacer in the exhaust system to eliminate it. Vagcom does clear it but it will more than likely come back at some point.

 

[matt88 lcr]

Had my mate scan it last night it was the sport cat put the light on got the exact code u said Tom

He has cleared it for me goin to give the car a service and get it booked in for stage 2 at the end of the month I recon
