Does your 172 decat pop, bang and put out the occasional small flame?



  172 Cup SOLD
Just curious as mine, as far as i'm aware does none of the above, although it is still attached to a standard system, the only change is the janspeed decat.

I'm thinking of putting a decat'ed yozza ragnotti on, will i get somne poppin with this??

Cheers in advance

I get mild pops and burbles but I only have a Janspeed sports cat (awaits the abuse for being gay).

I get small pops with my standard cat on my valver, but i get insane pops like a gunshot with my decat pipe :)

have you got standard system as well, except the cat??

also is yours a 182, cos the 4-2-1 manifold prob helps with that as well

No pops or bangs..only got a sports cat and steath exhaust on.

Had this before in my decatted Subaru...sounded like a giunshot somethimes but was antisocial in town lol

So does a decat make f all difference to the stealth exhausts then Ali and Neil?

As you say Ali, my 1.2 was much more lively with just a cat back.

Decat is prob the best mod i've done. Other than the fact it now STINKS of fumes and it's banned from the garage!!!

Much more grunty.
 
decat on mine made huge pops and bangs, dont know if i ever got flames, but wouldnt have been surprised if i did.

Sports cat made quite a difference to my 172 with a Stealth fitted....a tad more noise but no pops/bangs.

Are you not bothered that petrol is going in from the pump, through your engine without being burnt to produce any power and then being pumped out the back?

At least when I put petrol in my car it's like burning money, not just throwing money away!

(I feel guilty criticising your car as it has the holy flame red paint job and turinis)
