Decats are here!

[nightSpirit]

Only ordered them 2 days ago from ACT...first impression, they're light!

Has anyone fitted their own decats? easy job? assuming it's a lower frame remove then do them one at a time.

you will have to remove the silencer to be able to remove the 2 exhaust pipes that slide onto the decats, but easy enough job, shold take no more than a couple of hours, coffee included.

I'll give it a go, although at the moment by under car adventures (on the Clio) have resulted in complete failure.

On a Tamora the cats can be done with the exhausts in place. Drop both underbody shields, remove the lowest cat, swap the upper one first and then all back together. Be careful 'cos the clamps can break, and cost a packet to replace.

cheers Spoonman, will take a look

yes I think you`re right, I had to remove everything on the sag and t350 as the pipes were fairly well stuck over the cats, but do able if they come off ok.

That's a fair point. I've been doing mine every year for the MoT since it first needed a test. On an exhaust that's not been off since new I guess it might be more of a battle.

Dead easy on a ramp! Took me 2 hours max to do but im pretty fussy. My cats just fell off luckily. Had to remove the rear defuser to allow the exhaust to drop enough to pull cats of but very impressed with build quality to be honest.
