vts decat & system

[danvtslondon]

just put my standard pipe back on my v.t.s because the custom was just two loud, wana bit more cheap power any point running a decat with a standard system? or will it have no affect? any input welcome!

It will have a slight effect, frees up the flow a little. Easier to breathe. Slightly deeper tone too :y:

[danvtslondon]

ok, mite be worth doing then as my system sounds a little rattley and standard, as expected! can any one recomend a good but not over priced one?

[Ben]

Decat pipes are decat pipes really. Being bradned doesn't do much difference imo. Try www.tuning.co.uk and search exhausts under Saxo's. Quite cheap on there, and there is always a race tube from there too, to get rid of the silencer and enable it to breathe a little more too :y:

iv got a powerflow system m8 sounds good and is not too loud at low rev's but builds up nicely, comes with lifetime guarenty aswell £180 all in or £60 for pipes leading up to back box if you have already got one worth a look i think

[danvtslondon]

will do man, thanks again

[fergie458]

i can definetly reccomend sportex to you mate. i think there fantastic and extremely underated. they amazin quality, and value for money. and you get a year warratee <(cant spell it lol) with all of them.

[danvtslondon]

cool cool, mite go for one if you recomend so highly. price sounds good two gunna have a look tonight. thanks again

i got mine from online auto sport in lichfield. everyone will tell you to get magnex or piper. but really is it worth £200 more? its really not gonna make a big difference. i have the 3" backbox on my system, its not loud at low revs but if you put your foot down its a lovely roar lol and occasionally pops after some fast driving lol

[danvtslondon]

nice, my custom pipe used to pop if you was ragging it

[fergie458]

both going to have pretty much the same sound, mine gives a couple of pops as it gets high in the rev range and pops as it comes under 1700 revs on the way down, if you realy give it some you will get a loud double pop after the roar of the exhaust, both are good systems it just depends on how much you are willing to pay fpr a system.

cost is always a factor init...

cost is always a factor init...

if its just a cheap decat your looking for, i found a 1 surprisingley cheap at £40 from halfords, cant remember what make it was but it looked of very good quality was going to get 1 but then opted for the supersprint race tube for £60 lol

[danvtslondon]

that pipe sounds nice man, i originally went for a custom pipe last year because i wanted a 1 piece system, less margin for leaks and rust (stainless steal) and thort there was more power gains than a more "legal" super sprint pipe as i had a large diameter and only 1 box but it was just two loud. put the standard one back on and now feel like i need a small bit of noise so i was thinking just a de-cat with my simota air filter mite sound nice so i think im gunna try that next and if not i am going to just get a cat back system to run of the de-cat, thanks every one for your coment's

[JamesR]

so what system are u gonna go with?

[danvtslondon]

gunn'a try the de-cat first i think, not sure what one yet. needs a service really so should get that out the way first
