[tomdbomb61_djtj]

[Munson]

do they sound really loud ?? i want a bit more grunt out of mine, but dont want to buy a full system. they dont loose you any power do they?

 

[jaycc]

i'd like to know this too

 

[Munson]

I haven't heard one, but apparently it doesn't increase the noise too much. The engine tends to rev a bit more freely too. Again, apparently.

£80 from GDI...perfect.

Sounds more raspy and is a lot of fun too,well worth it IMHO

I have a de cat with standard exhaust on my 182.

As Dubai says, it gives me a slightly more raspy note under acceleration with a slight burble on idle, very nice.

Also, allows the car to rev slightly more freely in my opinion.

Good, cheap and easily fitted mod.

Only issue is the chance that the light on your dash will come on, happens to some and not to others....happened to me after about 150 miles but not really an issue to be honest.

I got mine from GDI as it happens! Give 'em a call.

Hope this helps

Another happy GDI de-cat owner here. Echo maddogs comments.

Fingers crossed no light for me yet after 3000+ miles.

do you notice any change in performance ? i am not really looking for any gains, more the oposite i know sometimes pissing around with your exhaust can actually loose you some horses....

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes you do notice a performance difference, better midrange in my opinion, the car breathes much easier if you will

nothing wrong with running a stock system with one, lifetime gaurantee, plus some uber sexy TIG welding with ours!

ours is the only one i've seen with the correct bend in it aswell

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

Fred is that £105.00 fitted

 

[Fred@BTM]

Fred is that £105.00 fitted

Bend Fred? Mine is as straight as an arrow....

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah, the OE cat has a tiny angle to it, no one else's i've seen has this replicated

its not a 100% straight pipe, its ever so slightly angled (like 3degrees)

 

[Dubai182]

Ty for enlightening me kind sir

You ever coming to the great shores of Dubai?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah in October

 

[Dubai182]
