JackyBoi Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm getting some titanium decat pipes tomorrow with the restrictor plate and was just wondering if anyone knows of a tutorial/how-to video which would clearly show me how it's done properly? Been looking through the forum for ages and can't find one Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just unbolt the first and second cat and put the decats in their place. Restrictor ring in the middle of the two decat pipes. The top bolts on the first decat can be tricky though you may need to heat them to get them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top bolts on the first decat can be tricky though you may need to heat them to get them off. Is it really that straight forward? And when you say the ring goes in the middle do you mean side-by-side with the 1st decat 2nd decat or between two bits of pipe?

Chris Bailey Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 First cat can be a pig to get off without access to a ramp. Second cat should be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah it's pretty straight forward. 5 bolts in total if I remember rightly. When you bolt the the 1st and 2nd decat together put the ring inbetween them and tighten up. You will notice the word decat in blue? Click on that and it will tell you all about it buddy.

Nic Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Remove these (1st and 2nd cat) and replace with decat pipes, restrictor ring in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus GTE Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 You will need a 12" extension for your socket set to reach the top 3 bolts. Two of them you can get to ok but with one of them you will need a knuckle attachment to get it at an angle. I soaked the 3 bolts the night before in wd30 and they came off ok with patience, but I did round one off putting it back on so be careful.
