CraGle Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 it cud well be that some one has actually put an egg inyour exhaust. so everytime u blast it, it cooks and therefore smells Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 put the decat on doesnt make that much difference tbh i had a decat and no middle box on my n/a full stainless system and it was very loud so get it done lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thank you for all the replys.what it is buddy is the sulphur in petrol it builds up in your cat and when it gets too much it all just comes out and booom one eggy stink bomb but if u decat then yea that should get rid of this or keep it on just to anoy people Danny^^ brill mate.As for the decatted pipe i have, i think the stainless centre pipe is 2"... but im guessing. its wider than the standard exhaust..The 'flanges' made to fit the standard zaust to the bigger stainless is shody, and appears that its been blowing on one weld. So i may fit it and take it to a local exhaust specialist and have them sort the join out.I take it i will have to 're-set' the ECU?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iwan Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 egg, made me lol but loss of torque due to fitting a decat? sorry for hijacking..Happens quite often in some N/A cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 you shouldnt have to touch the ecu mate its only a decat i had mine interchangable on flanges so i could put the cat back in for mots etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
