Okay I'll order one, cheers.

Oh right I see, the only thing I was worried about buying a new downpipe would be the no cat at MOT issue but if it's only dpf's that matter that's great, cheers.
Technically you need a DPF but mine's passed without it.. officially the line is "if fitted from factory it must be present on MOT" but 1) it's almost impossible to tell anyway from looking under the bonnet quickly or on the ramp with the under tray on and 2) MOT techs can't go routing around for things.

Darkside sell a "fake" DPF box which would remove this problem altogether.

Think I'll just cut the cat out myself and save potential hassle/money.

140's never came with a DPF unless someone spec'd it from new as it was available as a retrofit kit but they are few and far between. You'll have no issues come MOT  :happy2:

Just to confirm, this is the pipe I need to get rid of my eve valve? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=130770671294&alt=web

I currently have an engine light on my dash which is egr related, if I instalI this pipe and clear the code will it come back or?

No. That is just for removing the egr cooler. You don't have to remove that, but might as well while you're at it.
You need an egr delete kit.
Darkside EGR Delete Race Pipe - http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/darkside-1-9-8v-pd105-2-0-16v-tdi-pd-ppd-and-cr-egr-delete-race-pipe.html

To get rid of the ECU light, fit egr delete kit then get the egr function mapped out of your ECU.

Use search, there's a few threads on this as well as a how to guide.

Have to say that you'd be hard pressed to see mine for a transfer box Prop shaf and undergrad anyway. But I just broke mine down, ( I don't know how diff mine is to 2wd downpipe but I got an extension down into and knocked away with a hammer) and dropped it in the bin whilst I cleaned the turbo vanes. Regardless it's much better, a lot smoother and pretty much no more noise. Could also be the clean turbo lol. And as jay says I'm sure it's technicaly cars with dpf but again it's down to the given mot tester. I mean they can advise for engine covers and under trays but I'd say 9/10 that pass through our workshop don't. I also know that pretty much no 140 came with dpf if any?

So the egr delete is a neat little mod to coincide with a remap and exhaust, again this is on a GT sport (140).
