bought myself a decat front pipe from barnes silencers on e bay.(01248 450721)
spot-on replacement part for my 03 88bhp.
seems to go heaps better, reving quicker and giving a nice turbo whistle from 2500 rpm!!
well worth doing guys.pipe cost £41 plus £11 delivery.
got a backbox at the same time as mine fell off!!!
all in cost £91 delivered.

Does anyone know the legality regarding d-cating out vans? I've got an 03 88bhp, this sounds like it would be a suitable upgrade, will it get through an MOT like this ?

 

[Village]

From what I understand (and I'm prepared to corrected...) there's no need to have a cat on any diesel for the MOT as they test for particulates not whatever it is that a cat does.

Did you replace it yourself and was it relatively simple, or did you get a garage / exhaust place to do it?

Personally I think this is the better option, as it has no silencer either so more free flowing PLUS its stainless, and its not much more!!

,,,,agree with you there mate,,mine as a side exit with one can/silencer now its deffo not loud just right & its really made the difference in letting the motor breathe T:,its well worth chopping off the original exhaust & doing your own in a bigger diameter plus its a fair amount in weight tooT:

Definitely a good move, along with the EGR de-gunking improved mine no end.

I used a 2.4 diesel non cat front silencer. £26.07 no VAT. Straight fit.T:

I got the same decat off barnes have to say for the price you cant go wrong the engine feels more responsive and free revving thumbs up for barnes!

best bet is to get a straight through stainless system 2.5" as straight and short as poss with no boxs companies like powerflow do a good deal :ILU: worth the extra £££££s I have looked very closly at decats avaliable inculding stainless ones, i dont see the point in having a decat in a restrictive system so wont be selling them would be intersting to see a before and after power run with one?
