Milltek exhaust



A

Hi I've got a milltek exhaust system and it sounds very nice but it's not that loud enough for me, I thinking about getting a decat pipe, will this increase the noise and does it sound nice? And not being chavy! Also do I need a remap for it or anything like that?
Cheers

removing the cat will make it much louder and will increase the throttle response. It will feel a lot sharper when you thump the accelerator. However, it will no longer pass an MOT, unless you know a guy if you know what i mean, or are willing to re fit and remove once a year. I suppose no big deal.

Removing a centre silencer may be a more vosa friendly way of doing it.

A decat didn't make that much of a difference on mine to be honest. For the sake of £45 it's worth a shot to see if it does enough for you though.

No lights popped up on the dash either as a result of fitting one.

If you want more noise, you should look at removing the resonator/centre section.

I don't know the correct terminology but it's there to reduce certain sound frequencies and therefore reduces the overall noise level.

Milltek don't offer a non-resonated system for the 182 I don't think. But you'd only need to fill its place with a bit of pipe.

Removing the centre section for a straight though bit of pipe won't bring the light on. A decat might bring it on some do, some don't.

As for removing and refitting a cat, it's very easy on the 182's, could probably do it with out a ramp.

I've taken my cat out and have no lights on because of that. But obviously all engines are different.

As Bobby says, changing the cat over is very easy to do. It's just a few bolts and you can slide it in. I did mine on my drive with the car jacked up.

I have the full Milltek with decat, it is pretty loud, but you get used to it and some may see you as chavy :)

I believe you have to cut and weld to remove the silencer of which I wasn't wanting to do on a new purchase, also the milltek decat has holes for both lambda sensor, and my warning light hasn't come on after a month of running it.

Depends with a Cat on no, Decatted them it's limited to around 65MPH and under, over that they get really boomy on Mways, needs a loud stereo.

I don't think it's a case of if the sensor fits then no lights come on. Even if the sensor fits (which I think they all do) you MAY still get the light. Which I believe is what the extensions are for, to avoid getting it.

I haven't got the light on on my dash. Although it did come on the day after I fitted the decat (about 4 months ago) on the way to work. Drove home from work that day with no light and it hasn't come on since.

Now have decat fitted and it's improved the sound more than what I was expecting
Sounds really good now but not overly loud neither does it drone much on motorway
No light as yet either so really pleased

Why do people run their cars without the cat?
Its there for a reason, i dont care if it sounds better, i want to be able to breath when i walk down the road.

because they sound much better and get better throttle response and loose them horrible blows that you get from cat.

I Spent all that money on Milltek catback and sounded crap therefore why got decat now I'm happy with sound do that's why people get decat.

There not goina make much difference to environment........ maybe think about flying etc from now on if your that worried lol........ loads out there putting more s**t out than a decat on a car for f***s sake
