3" turbo revs decat downpipe, engine warning light?
« on: November 19, 2012, 02:17:24 pm »
Looking at buying a turbo revs decat downpipe for a standard GTI.
After using the search function, i read that it may throw up a warning light on the dash?
Is the above true and if so, would this solve it?
Anything else i should know regarding fitting?

I do have a very friendly MOT tester who takes payment by jam doughnuts  :signLOL:

No limp mode, just a really annoying light.

And lots of popping and gargling, mine has been on for 2 weeks now and is starting to sound awesome!! The really big plus side is, the car is completely silebt when cruising, no noise at all but really does sound awesome on WOT! :evilgrin: :driver:

Shouldn't take any lover than 1 hour really  mate.
Well that is a problem I had, don't know if they are all the same, I presume they would be. Just grind it off slightly behind the bulges on the mounts and will be perfect.
GET IT BOUGHT, you won't regret it!! :driver:

Garage has gone to fit it and there's no joiner to join the 2 bits together? Any idea what I need and where to get it?
