kieren1234 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 To replace the first cat it is a full manifold jobby iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris and Alana Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 You should have taken the first cat out instead, it has the same type of core but it's bigger (causes more of an obstruction for gas flow) and closer to the turbo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Have one sat here for a while........... just wondered if there`s a sensor in the first NA cat?? anyone? http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/7365/dsc001301pk9.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2438/dsc001291oo0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00gzy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 while you guys are on the subject, ive just recieved my xs power trd style cat back exhaust for my NA. Doesnt matter how many times i read up about cats first and second and decat i still dont understand it. I have 3 sections delivered today and ive been readin up all day about this exhaust. Is the 3rd section needed at all? Also the car is being mot'd in few weeks and heard that it wont pass with both cats out or something. any help would be grateful! My friend is fitting it tomorrow as im not technically minded as you might have noticed! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 think there`s a clue there in `cat back` ! ie from your 2nd cat back to the exhaust tip, also fwiw mine with only first cat in place passed mot ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend is fitting it tomorrow as im not technically minded as you might have noticed! :-) the xs power cat back exhaust normally comes in two pieces so if you have 3 pieces one of them will be a decat pipe to replace the 2nd cat! if you dont want to decat it pm me and i may take it off your hands!
