182 De-Cat

[DazBav]

a mate of mine has suggested getting a decat pipe on my 182 but was wondering whats tha advantages/disadvantages and is there really any point and if so how much are they?
cheers in advance

 

[Fred@BTM]

loads of point!!!

a) sod the climate
b) sod old people
c) sod the government

around £100

(seriously though, it makes the car a different beast, the engine revs so much better with one)

does it make it sound better? how much to fit it ? and how far away are you (im in rugby where the crap game was invented its near coventry)

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm in Solihull, free fitting too!!

makes the exhaust note a wee tad louder, sounds "fruity" but not ridiculous

[Fred@BTM]

Do you need to worry about a remap with a decat? For safety terms I mean (AFR)? I'm sure only induction mods could affect the AFR right?

Could I expect a good gain simply by adding a deact pipe to my 182?

Could an ITG Maxogen and a decat realease, say, 10bhp?

 

[Fred@BTM]

exhaust side of the engine doesn't affect the AFR

i would suggest a remap if you're having a maxogen

 

[Munson]

OK so I would probably be looking at just a decat initially at least. Could I expect gains from this beyond a lot of noise?

 

[Fred@BTM]

god yeah, the engine revs so much better with a decat

Sweet, but keeping in mind that I actually quite like the standard exhuast note, does a decat make the Clio sound like a Nova with a drainpipe tailpipe?

 

[Fred@BTM]

na, just amplifies it a wee tad

 

[Munson]

You've convinced me mate. I dont need an MOT for another 2 years yet anyway so f**k that side of things. I will keep the cat should I need it come MOT time in Feb 2008

What's the score with the emissions sensor? I notice the KTEC pipe doesnt seem to show a welded boss for it, but the yozzasport pipe does. Do I even need to worry about this? Sorry for all the questions and the thread hijack!

 

[Fred@BTM]

we welded it in "just in case"

182's are strange, some throw the light up, some don't, but we think we've figured out the solution, but we're yet to test it (busy on other projects)

easy to change anyway, 2 bolts and a nut

 

[Munson]

Sweet deal. Thanks for your help. I might be ordering a pipe very soon, but I will probably fit it myself. Although expect a pm as I drive through that area quite often and I might want it fitted by the pros

 

[Dubai182]

Agree on all of above....makes it sound the nuts considering its just a decat...loads more free reving too.
My emissions light still hasn't come on yet which is good news too.
Great buy for the £££

Fred, Do you do a Decat for the Ph1 172? If so how much?

Cheers
Rob
