Not clued up on exhausts and needing help

Yeah non resonated, will be loud.
Having a look at the video, im trying to figure out what clamps have been used to mate it together...
You might need a 2.5" exhaust sleeve/clamp, same as the one that comes with the oem exhaust...
Are you fitting it yourself?

[Dave_d]

Worried it'll be too loud now 
My local mechanic is going to be fitting it for me, he'll sort out future MOT's for me too.
I must admit she sounds sublime on wide open throttle.
I'll get him to offer it up when it comes, to then see what adaptors I may need. Hopefully nothing

[ROH ECHT]

Not too loud...mine is decat w/o resonator and just a small Borla...

...and this one is some normal driving sounds...

Is that the eBay downpipe?
I'll be getting this at the end of the month, if you could let us knis what it's like once fitted.

On another note, how is everyone attaching pics now?
I've tried Flickr and imgur apps in phone but can't get it to work?

[Dave_d]

Yeah it is @Rigsby  its hopefully going on on Wednesday as my mechanic is busy, I just searched on google for upload image and imgbb.com popped up, uploads in seconds then I use a cut and paste in between the img][/img] to get the forum to show the image

I've made a new video showing my downpipe section going into my cobra exhaust. It looks to me like the cobra exhaust has the pipe that flows down to 2 1/4 to join the standard downpipe. The de cat I bought is 3" then end section is 2 1/4 so in theory it should be just a straight swap and no sleeves are needed? Excuse my ignorance as I really am not clued up on exhaust one little bit.

Here's the video

Also may I add I'm attempting to measure the width of the pipe lying on floor with arm stretched

[Rigsby]

If your cobra joins to standard down pipe, and the decat downpipe is designed to fit to oem cat back then it should fit fine mate

[Dave_d]

Hi guys, so.. the decat  downpipe has been fitted! She sounds sensational on WOT 
My mechanic struggled to fit this to my cobra cat back, the clamp that was supplied with it was far too small, the hangers are out of line with the holes so he had to weld my old ones onto the side of them to get it located. 2 Of the 4 bolts sheered off so he had to weld nuts on to get them out.
Would I recommend it? Yes if you are fitting yourself and have access to welding gear or your mechanic does, my car sounds lovely now, a very nice deep roar from my exhaust now, people say that de cats drone on motorways, however I drove at 60mph for a few miles and noticed no drone? It's loud, but then remember I'm now decat and also have non resonated cobra cat back. I might swap out the cobra in the future to a resonated version, I'll see how I get on anyway..

@Dave_d

Sounds a nightmare.
You say The hangers on the downpipe were wrong?
