De-cat pipes, or Carbon Cans

[the-gofer]

Anyone de-catted their Tuscan?
I notice tvrcarparts.com sell pairs of Speed Six decat pipes for Tuscan for £150 - is that a good price? Would it improve the sound much, or would I be better of with Carbon Cans?

What about MOTing?

I had a De-Cat on my Tuscan after engine re-build. I have not experienced CC's but the Decat is plenty loud enough for me with added snap crackle and pop. You will notice overrun is much more fierce after a de-cat. As for MOT just make sure the engine is very warm before taking it in. Alternatively take it to the indie that decattted your pipes when it is MOT time.

I've a pair of decat pipes in the garage if you are interested.

Hell, why not do both?

I've got a de-cat and CCC's and it sounds LURVELY!!!

No problem with MOT's either....mine passed only a month back - straight through!

Straight through indeed.

Make sure you keep me posted on the rolling road day, bud - am itching to see that plot...

hmmm....both......

Need to go a bit easy on the finances for a month or two, and having seen the price of £150 for the pair of pipes was just wondering whether it was a worthy change. Next question then: Who is a good indy in the Yorkshire area these days? I have always taken my cars to HHC up until now.

Rob,

After todays run out, you really need to consider doing this

Not sure if i want to - the Carbon cans are plenty loud enough for the moment - Come summer I might change my mind. i've a feeling that I might have to go out again tomorrow, to see if It still sounds as good!!!
