decat??

[chrishesketh]

I have a clio 182 with a scorpion exhaust, also running a ktec style induction kit! would a decat be worth it? not bothered about noise, it would be more for power gains?

I would be looking into a remap once this is done as I won't be going any further with my engine!

any help would be appreciated cheers

mine is quieter with decat, thought it would be louder?
any performance difference will be minimal, would still do it though.

cheers mate! I have someone who can do my MOT for me without this being a problem so it's just a matter of time! which decat are you using?

 

[bloke]

think it was a milltek?

182 cat is supposed to be very free flowing so you won't see much if any power gain. Mine feels like I've lost a bit lower down the range but gained a bit at the top end, might just be imagining it though

Sounds great though.

suppose I can give it a go and if not just put it back in! I'm wondering if a remap would sort this out ?

Got the full Scorpion RS192 system with a decat. Well worth it. Not only for the extra rasp but its defo more responsive with a decat IMO i also have a ktec style IK and the 98RON Map

looks like I'll be getting a decat then [emoji6]

I would, have had a decat on every car i owned can always feel the difference

Both of my 182s ( firstly was a trophy with a scorpion rs192, second is a cup with a ktec racing exhaust) were slower once decated.

I reffited the cat to both but cut the 'bell and cup' joint of and welded a sleeve on to maintain the diameter.

Gained 3mpg from both aswell.

They're simple to fit and used decats are so cheap that you might as well, especially if that's as far as you'll be going with engine mods, but imo, any difference performance will just be in your mind.

Fueling back to normal: probably restored it rather than gained it.

Should have got it mapped or reset the ecu when decated. Might have made a difference.

With out proper mapping most modern cars ( especially a 182 where the cat is pretty efficient) will loose power by decating.
