Shilakadaddy 0 Posted January 24, 2005 :( I'm attempting to fit a new milltek decat pipe bought from John (16vG60), and I'm kinda confused.... take a look This is what I've taken off, thinking this was the CAT And this is what I've bought: Now they look the same to me... so what have I taken off? and what have I bought? :( Cheers, Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibber 0 Posted January 24, 2005 Top one is a standard CAT, bottom one is a de-Cat with a slight silencer. I cant see where the lambda probe bolts in on the second one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted January 24, 2005 really? I would have thought the original would have been more restrictive... they both look the same when looking through which is why I was confused :? There is a holder for the lambda probe on the decat one, but its on the other side in that picture. Well thanks for the quick reply :) Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Brookes 0 Posted January 24, 2005 first pic looks like a supersprint decat pipe to me.......oh bugger! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shilakadaddy 0 Posted January 24, 2005 :lol: thanks for the sympathy guys! I figured it was either a decat pipe or I'd been sent the wrong thing from John, ah well I've fitted it anyway, gave me something to do So yeah as dr_mat suggested... who wants a Supersprint decat? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibber 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Looking down a cat it will look like a roll off corigated cardboard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted January 25, 2005 The first one is a Supersprint de-cat pipe. I've got one and it looks like that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Why don't you contact John so he can sort it out for you and confirm what you have/haven't got? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted January 25, 2005 it'll definately be a supersprint decat.. the rest of the exhaust is supersprint, already fitted when I bought the car, I just didn't realise that it had a decat pipe too (I expected it just to be a pipe without a silencer). Ah well I now have a nice shiney decat and am a little wiser to the mystical world of identifying car parts :roll: My flatmates just bought a decat pipe for his 306, so now I have the responsibility of fitting that... since I know so much about them :roll: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted January 25, 2005 You've be properly lumbered now! John might take it back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRuler 0 Posted January 25, 2005 whats the advantage in taking the cat off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 25, 2005 it increases exhaust flow (decreases back pressure) and can help free up a few horses... It's more beneficial for forced induction (Super/turbo charged) cars though... 8) Oh, and taking the cat off also helps stop your car from pumping out some seriously nasty chemicals rather than a bit of carbon monoxide... (California is about to ban catalytic convertors on new cars after a study showed just how much worse/more harmful the gasses coming out of a cat were compared to the gasses coming out of a non-cat car!)

Neil VR6 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Certainly on a force induced car there is less restriction in the exhaust so you can expel the gases quicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRuler 0 Posted January 25, 2005 well when the cat falls apart on my vr6 i'll stick a cat bypass pipe on. cats do pump out some crazy shizzle though. bring back lead. lead never did no one no harm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
