Decat or sports Cats?

[WBlohm]

Just a question, what are the opinions on these 2 options for the V8 Vantage

I am not worried about MOT failure, just curious to see what peoples thoughts are

From what I understand, similar potential BHP increas but noise will be alot louder with the decat

[divetheworld]

Depends if you have an early car with two cats or later with four.
Decat secondary on later cars.
Earlier cars often need ecu changes to prevent emissions warnings.

too noisy for me, the volume level with fuse 22 out is enough ...I dont want to be heard coming toooo far away by the Police

[WBlohm]

I have a 2007 Vantage, noise was the one thing I was thinking about, I dont mind it being loud at higher revs but in the lower range do not want it to drone

[bogie]

I have had sportscat on other cars and it was fine, just added a bit of raspiness to the sound and a bit more volume. Also have had decat on other cars and it was too much

[WBlohm]

bogie, thanks for the info, so you recon sports cats better than decat sound wise

[bogie]

yes, defo the sports cats. With manifolds too if you can..and airboxes ...its a slippery slope to another 30-40bhp

[Jibberingloon]

Sports cars / filters / no fuse 22 = perfect for me

[WBlohm]

I am looking at going for manifolds, sports cats, new air boxes and ECU remap

Fuse 22 has been out since 2 mins of ownership ha ha

If anyone was looking.

Just as a heads-up incase anyone is interested. I am removing my RS Fabrications 200 cell sports cats from my V8 Vantage this week before trading in. Fitted in November 2013, done 6k miles. Absolutely mind blowingly awesome and transforms the car.

200 cell cats and a sports back box is enough noise for me. No MOT issues, very occasional emissions light which is O2 sensor related.

V8Andrew what back box do you have as that sounds is spot on

[morty1961]

nice music that Andrew

Renmure, let me know if they'll fit a 2006 V8 Vantage and what price are you going to ask ? PM me if needed.

Ive currently got a Tubi back box and would like a little more grunt........

I think this will be them advertised in the classifieds. I've got the same type fitted to my car, without doubt probably the best exhaust mod I've ever done to any of my cars.
