Decat Fitting Prices

[medici999]

What should one expect to pay?

Getting quotes around £60-£90

 

[DrR]

Seams a lot to me!

Really is easy, 10 min job.

 

[EllD90]

drink to kwikfit man

 

[medici999]

Not sure its worth me risking doing it myself, dont want to damage the lamda sensor

 

[Matthew]

It just screws out buddy...

It is a 10-15 job but best taking it to the pro's if your not 100%

Dont be paying more than £30 say though...

They do stick, it took a 22mm spanner, lump hammer and a vice to get mine off but it went eventually

I hate those stupid C clamps, they are a git to spread

 

[Sarah]

they will prob charge you an hours labour

 

[iimushroomzii]

Seems to me they'd charge between £60-£90...

 

[Gray]

For £60 - £90 I would happily do it and take you out for dinner x



on a 182 its a 10 - 15 min job, take it to a local garage.. £20 Done!

 

[medici999]

Been quoted £30 which is better, got my new exhaust kit from NW performance so will get all that on while im there!

 

[Lewin]

See if you can watch how they do it so you can do it yourself next time/MOT. It's an easy job.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Unless your a r****d, its as easy as changing a wheel.

Oh. Wait.



Will cost you a crate of Stella (£12) at any back street exhaust place!

 

[medici999]

Haha...is it really that easy..i just dont want to get halfway through it then the labda sensor not come off.

 

[chris182cup]

cost me a tenner from my polish mechanic took him ten mins

 

[DrR]

TBH getting the sensor out of mine was a complete f**ktard of a job, hardest bit. Think 2 meter long metal poles on the end of an adjustable spanner.

 

[medici999]

Yeah, i dont wanna risk me not being able to get it off tbh!

 

[DrR]

Taking the cat off is so easy, if you can't do it just put it back on, also i'd buy a new clamp.

 

[koi]

Lamda sensor is a b**ch to get out, gave up on mine and got a garage to take it off in the end

 

[medici999]

I have a whole new exhaust fitting kit, so all the exhaust mounts will be getting replaced tomorrow

 

[DrR]

Got one of these?

Far better than the c clamp

 

[Sarah]

Im confused....

 

[Dave.]

not sure if these help but look at mine when i did it, easy peeasy...

you can see its really easily accessible, get under there and have a go!!

Oh and lambda came out of mine quite easily, swift tap with palm of hand with spanner on whilst exhaust is hot and turned straight away, i can imagine it being harder if its cold, but the cat stays mega hot for bloody ages!

 

[medici999]

Am i right in thinking the rear exhaust mounts are a 13mm bolt?

 

[Sarah]

why are u stressing when NW performance are going to fit your exhaust? get them to do the de cat at same time

 

[medici999]

no there not..where did you get that idea from?
managed to sheer 2 of my bolts from the rear exhaust hangers..just snapped!

 

[Sarah]

because of this

Been quoted £30 which is better, got my new exhaust kit from NW performance so will get all that on while im there!

 

[medici999]

Exhaust KIT, the fitting kit.

 

[Cookson]

LMFAO

I thought you was getting the kit and taking it somehwere to be fitted.

Instead, you have grabbed your box of "hand-me-down" HF spanners and mole grips and attacked it yourself??

[medici999]

i did the exhaust mounts myself yes! but decat is being fitted by a garage

 

[medici999]

The exhaust mounts..the metal hanger thats bolted to the car...any idea where i can get a new metal hanger from?

 

[Sarah]

renault??????

or any garage

NWP just ask ryan for one,

De-cat fitting is piece of piss, in total its 4 bolts, the connection from downpipe to cat/decat is 2x 10mm nuts, so you will need a spanner on the manifold side and a small socket set with 10mm to undo it,

then just unbolt the 2 bolts in the centre, mine were 15mm, so yours should be aswell

 

[The Dark Knight]

Is it decat really worth fitting on a every day road car? For all the gain you'll get fitting one; mainly more noise.

 

[Sarah]

Mr Knight....remember the BRAPPPPPPPPPPING that can be had

Miss/Mrs Sarah.... remember the fine you could get and points on your licence that can be had.

 

[Cookson]

its to match his make-believe JMS inlet, INIT BRUV

 

[Savi]

Mate just paid £12 for a decat to be fitted on a teg. Dont bother paying anymore tbh, or just do it yourself

 

[Oggy997]

As much as I lol at these threads, Cookson's stalking of medici999's threads is tiresome.

I'd try it myself personally, it can't be that hard.....

Once I watched my exhaust being fitted I was so glad I didnt pay for it... Such a simple job.

 

[Cookson]

Exqueeze me?

I hardly call it stalking when he posts 9millions threads all over the board

 

[Craigus]

So is it blowing?
