small update, bill at badger 5 managed to source me a RELENTLESS downpipe and decat at a very good price (second hand) so i couldnt turn it down :D
bill will be fitting it this sunday so cant wait. does anyone know if its worth wrapping it up in exhaust wrap?

well done on the zorst mate.
had my second hand milltek dp and decat fitted over the weekend... wow what a racket, but in a good way! it sounds pure evil!!
i always liked how my tail pipe sounded anyway but now its even better.
i read somewhere that a 3'' system should improve the top end performance but thats defo not the case for me.
it feels loads more torquey and as if i have more grunt low down.
so, all in all i'm very happy.

anyway seems as if im hijacking your thread so i'll stop banging on about my zorst and i hope it all goes smoothly for you in the fitting of yours!

Update, downpipe now fitted

hello all, on sunday i took a trip upto badger 5 to get my new dp and decat fitted. i also bought some exhaust wrap to help keep the temps down, every little helps :D
this is the stuff bill recommended me to use


all wrapped up


removing the old dp was a pita. my old dp was way past its best and may have been leaking so it was a job that needed doing.



and finally the new dp all fitted.



it was a good day and cant believe the difference in power, low end torque is so much better, cant wait to get back on the rollers now :) also the noise is mental on full chat. the best thing was when a audi s3 tried to race me on the way home, had his fmic half hanging out the bumper :lol:, he soon turned into a small dot in my rear view mirror :D

thanks mike, means alot when comments like that come from you :)
the scorpion decat wont fit, as aaron said the scorpion decat is a twin pipe, the blueflame dp and decat is single 3"pipe. however piper do a uprated twin down pipe that should fit the scorpion decat :)
