Welcome if it's a 2001 Silvertop with a 1 plug ecu the catalytic convertor is under the car. But if it's a 2001 Silvertop with a 3 plug ecu the catalytic convertor is in the manifold.

Ahhh ok i had a feelong after reading some various bits it might be in manifold, thank you, would i have to get a decat manifold if there is such thing :/

Welcome to sax-p mate :) yeah you would have to get a decat manifold, most aftermarket manifolds will clash with the oil filter though, so you will probably either need to buy an oil filter relocation kit, or a smaller oil filter too :)

[josepi1990]

Right ok, sounds like a bit of a mission! But will do that way, thanks for the quick reply, is that still goin to make my exhaust raspy and what not?

I think the Piper 4-1 misses the oil filter on a mk2 but im not 100% sure as for noise im not sure as i only have a supersprint center pipe with piper backbox.

If you did want to relocate the oil filter here is the link that shows you how http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87713

i have a 421 on my 02plate, if you mean the big silly filter then it misses it & hasnt melted it so you should be fine.

[josepi1990]

Sweet, whats the sound like with that silk not to loud??

Thats what you need.
A 4/2/1 tubular manifold to replace the standard cat manifold. Makes them a fair bit louder and you get a lot more crackle and pop too :P

[josepi1990]

Ah cant get on to that page...but yeh, and either change up filter or find one that wont need that doing...

tbh mate it didnt make much difference, i only bought it as my cat snapped(rusty as) so got a 421 cheap:), you should be ok on missing the filter.

[josepi1990]

Right ok, ive found a raceland 4-2-1 decat, will that miss my oil filter?

[Silk]

yes mate should do :)

[josepi1990]
