fitting a decat to 182.

[hipwell]

Just ordered my decat from nwperformance, 58 quid what a bargain.

Anyway, just wondering if theres going to be any other bits ill need to fit it like new gasgets or bolts?

Is it really as simple as remove the clamp from center, remove the 2 bolts and lambda and replace with decat pipe?

it is that simple, gasket i would do just to ensure a good seal! i didnt change mine but it was only 6 months old

yeah it's quite simple, maybe worth getting a gasket-set (new bolts come with that i think) . this will set you back another 30pounds i believe

Ah right, I'll have a look at the state of the old bolts and gasket. Old owner said he'd had a new cat on last year so maybe had a new set on aswel. If the bolts are nackered would most motor factors sell them for pennies or are they special ones?

 

[franx]

bolts are with springs on one side, the other ones are normal

get the gasket kit from NWP as they're much cheaper than the renault ones. You might need a new rear clamp too. Mine was a b**ch to get off, so ended up damaging it :S
