De-cat pipe

[Taylor18]

Hi I have got a phase 2 vtr and want to de-cat it. Is it possible to get just a de-cat pipe from anywhere or do i have to get the manifold aswell? cheers

[RustyM]

On a mk2 the cat is in the manifold so a sports manifold is needed.

[RustyM]

Or a ph1 exhaust system?

[Taylor18]

any ideas on sports manifolds so i dont have to move the oil filter?

[Taylor18]

would a phs 1 system fit straight on?

[RustyM]

My local exhaust place does them for 175 fitted custom made but I think raceland do a manifold specially for the mk2 which doesn't require it moving? I could be wrong?

[Taylor18]

yeah just checked there nearly 300 though :( best get saving haha

[RustyM]

Why not go custom then for under 200?

[RustyM]

Also that's under 200 fitted, the 300 you quoted would be plus fitting at about 50+ quid.

[Taylor18]

true is the custom one still a performance one? and where bouts im in Harrogate mate

[RustyM]

Ye performance 4-2-1i used john ashley in walsall but just google custom exhausts and where you live.

[Taylor18]

k thanks

[RustyM]

Also after you find a couple, post up for opinions on the company.

[Taylor18]

yeah iv found a nice sportex manifold so i just emailed them to see if it will need the oil filter moving or not hopefully not. just then gotta change it every year for MOT

[RustyM]

As far as I know the sportex's don't require the oil filter moving, there not the best but you get what you pay for and they will improve flow a LOT though

[Taylor18]

Yeah well iv got a sportex cat back exhaust system and its really good. Iv used them on my other car and not had a problem with them either so hopefully should all be fine

[mcjacko1987]

il have a quick look see if i can find it
