tony tt Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This afternoon i'm getting my de-cats fitted i hope it all goes well and doesnt give any problems. I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to cars so i'm expecting some sort of problem after doing this. Wish me luck hopefully Bpu is in my grasp at last!

Aero-M Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thats bad news Tony, Sounds like a uk spec decat. Didn't ryan advertise these as J spec?, If so have a word with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If its turns out to be a n/a decat, maybe your good old mate could have first dibbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It did say j spec mate but didnt say whither it was a tt de-cat or n/a i should have asked. Ive pmd him so ill wait and see bud. The NA first decat is split into two pipes, they look very different to the TT. Was it an item from ebay? Those are often cheap copies of US downpipes - i.e. UK spec TT and won't fit the jspec.

Homer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 IIRC those came off a jspec TT so they should fit your car. It might be worth sending Ryan a quick PM to confirm they were off his lastest black car. It's actually pretty easy to not get the 1st cat to line up, they can be a fiddle. Who's fitting it for you? Edit - also it doesn't matter whether than are 2.5 or 3 inch pipe diamter, the flange size is what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pmd him mate they came off his friends car and hes not sure which one it is. It definitely doesnt line up. where the bolts go in are about an inch out all round the diametre of the de-cat is bigger. The local garage was doing it homer.
