After having a nightmare of the garage gutting the main cat and precat On the OEM downpipe when I specifically asked precat it failed the mot shortly after. So I sourced a dp and and ran it for a while with just the precat mod.
This weekend I finally got my eBay downpipe fitted. It was £130 delivered from the states. Apparently made from the same steel as Milteks. It came in 2 pieces and the mechanic had to do a bit of jigging about to get them together but all good.
The car is an edition 30 and had been remapped shortly before my ownership by some mobile mapping company, i found the receipt in the glovebox. No other mods.
I honestly can't believe the difference this dp has made. Feels like it's been remapped again huge pull from 3k. Sounds a lot beefier aswell also can hear the turbo spooling quite prominontly On boost.
Very happy today and can highly recommend a downpipe over a precat mod wish I'd of just done it in the first place. Strangely no cel light yet so wondering weather the cheap map had some eml removal in it. Just hope the longevity of it is the same as the more exepensive equivalent time will tell ...
