New exhaust on wednesday...

[s1l3nc3r]

Just got off the phone to AMD a bit ago got myself booked in to have my new de-cat and system fitted...

Just had a thought though im going to get an exhaust place to make me up a removable section so i can swap in and out the standard cat for the mot without having to worry about taking off the d/p...

Bit of a wierd question i wouldnt of thought it would matter. But wanted others thoughts on this does it matter where the cat actually goes in the exhaust system as opposed to doing its job..?

What exhaust did you got for in the end mate? Milltek or Blueflame decat? Bet you can wait to get it on and puuuuuring

blueflame in the end 3” to2.5” its huge, no idea how there going to make it fit but thats for them to worry about lol, im wanting lots of pops and bangs, maybe even the odd flame...

 

[cupramillo]

Niiiice one, blueflame decat will pop bang and spit flames for sure. Mine with the sports cat pops and bangs quite abit on lift off and when you give it some abuse. Its a great exhaust well made and a good price. ENJOY

why does nothing ever go right...

Droped the car off at AMD all good, got a call earlier one of the d/p studs had snapped trying to get he standard d/p off.
Now they have to take off the turbo to get the thing out so im not going to ave the car back till tomorow afternoon at some point which is a problem as ive got to be at work at 7 in the morning with no way to get there

Whats worse is he told me it would be about £240+ vat to do it...But it doesnt seem right that i should have to pay for somthing that they done..??

gutted mate ! I had two of the studs snap on me just unlucky i suppose , and no you shouldn't have to pay for it it was thier mistake

Thats a shitter mate Sorry to hear about that, when i got my BF turbo back done i bit the bullet and drop up to manchester to BF themselves, took them almost two hours to get the standard bolts off, had to heat them up and everything and one did snap but they didnt charge me extra. Try and negotiate the price down if you can and just keep thinking how nice the car will be when its all done.

Think they would of been alright with it if they could of got it out easy, they did ring me and said it had snapped but had a bit of thread still hanging out but it snapped again inside the turbo, which is why they had to remove it, spose on the upside they will check the condition of the turbo while its off..
I no i still cant wait to get it back to see what it sounds like.

You should of told me before i would of driven it down to yours. The round trip proberly wouldnt of cost much more than its going to anyway

bummer that mate, sopose its no ones fault though, if it was goin to snap it would have snapped who ever done it ???

Sadly it goes with the territory, the bolts are in a very harsh environment, massive heat cycles in seconds from when the car is first started. The only way round it would be to fit High Tensile bolts but due to dissimilar metals the problem would then be transferred to the housings that the fasteners are located in.
