DE-CAT PIPES

[liam14RT]

I have finally decided to down the "de-cat route" after hearing a fair few good things about them!

Which de-cat pipe should I consider for my 1-4 RT Clio? - bear in mind I dont want to be having to spend a small fortune !

Has any one had any problems?



Thanks

well k-tec one is bout 2cm too short but we still managed to fit it fine!

there is a difference in noise! a lot louder and bit of rasp but that goes once its all sooted up!

I like mine but it tends to make the car back fire when coming off high revs in second, is this normal. Have got a Hillpower one and it fits fine !

 

[BenR]

its not a back fire.

The clio when at any speed above idle rpm and with no throttle it cuts fuel off entirely, thus when you touch the throttle a tiny bit you can get it to just about inject fuel but not burn it.....pop.

There is an increasing amount of women who are scared to do anything themselves!

 

[liam14RT]

Hey I aint no woman!!!

Just my cars been dropped 60mm and is pretty low so i cant get under it and as i dont have a trolley jack or axel stand then this is my main problem!

Will the K-Tec de-cat pipe fit my standard exhaust???

 

[Tom_16v]

Yes AFAIK, ask them before buying it......
