De-cat and Exhaust

[markfarrell75]

Hi I'm thinking about putting a de-cat pipe and exhaust on my 182. Any suggestions lads? Also how about inductuion kit and chip/re-map? Anyone had these done. I want to gain as much more bhp as poss. Cheers.

That will make your car a lot more free flowing. I'd recommend a viper induction kit, de-cat (silenced) and a custom exhaust. If you're looking to do further mods it would be best speaking to Andy @ GDI about an smt6 piggyback ecu which will allow the car to be remapped everytime you have a mod put on if you wanted.

Definately worth it.

Nice one, cheers mate. I'll look into that then.

Have you got the web address for GDI?

good luck with that matey...sorry to hike the thread but if you take the cat of then obviously it has to go back on when you have an mot ok i understand that bit but what about the engine management light coming on on mk2 172??? or does it not come on i am thinking about one of these with a system but i cannot have the light on all the time it would do my head in lol

I put a sports cat on my mk2 172 and the managment light came on. Had it plugged in twice to knock it off but it came on again. Spoke to charlie down @ prospeed and he told me that there is no way of knocking it off.

If you have a 172 just unplug the second lambeda sensor and the light won't come on leave it plugged in and it will keep going off.
The 182's have problems in that this trick doesn't work.

ive got a 172 mk2 with a janspeed de-cat, andy @ gdi fitted it , he plugged both lambar sensors in & the emmision light has stayed off.

That's cos he's a clever chappy!

I fitted my Janspeed Sports Cat a few weeks ago and the light came on for the 1st run but then switched its self off after that and has been off every since (touch wood).

i have a janspeed de cat on my mk1 172, but mine is a late one with two sensors (same as a mk2 172) all we did was leave the spare sensor taped up under the car, and so far (fitted about 4-5 weeks ago) the light has not come on.
Oh, and de cat and custom exhaust is deffinately the way forward, so long as you want to sound like a touring car! The sound mine belts out is unbeleivable!

Have heard of this problem but have installed a sports cat on my 172 with both sensors plugged in and haven't seen the light come on yet....touch wood.
