jon5698 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 My decat finally come today, after i was sick of waiting and gutted my cat yesterday ( typical lol )had a bit of trouble getting the 3 bolts which hold the bottom bracket of the cat to the exhaust. It is a good job that i bought an air compressor a few months ago with an impact wrench otherwise i would never have got the bolts loose. Even with my standard exhaust and manifold you can feel a big difference, the turbo spools up quicker and there is more midrange torque Quote
Marc Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Very nice mate, i take it this piece goes in place of the original catalyser? Quote
jon5698 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 yes mate, the cat and the other bracket which connects to the exhaust. The weight difference is unbeliavable too the cat is made from cast iron and weighs a ton lol Quote
RoSsSr16v Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 The weight difference is unbeliavable too the cat is made from cast iron and weighs a ton lol^^lol ^^ must have been some difference there.any idea on what sort of xtra bhp its giving you? Quote
jon5698 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 I am not sure mate, i want to get it rolling roaded. I would say possibly a couple of bhp as i still have the standard exhaust and manifold. Quote
Marc Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Will the car not fail an MOT now there is no cat? Also how much was the piece of kit if you dont mind me askin'? Quote
jon5698 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 the car will pass the mot fine as it don't need one. There is no uk equivalent of the car so it only needs to pass an idle test. I got it from america and it cost £124 delivered. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 mate it might ad a few bhp but ull notice more gains with the tourque(pulling power) upto 30pf more across the range making the car alot more tractable Quote
jon5698 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 yeah mate you can notice a big difference spools up alot quicker and pulls better, just need a new manifold exhaust fmic ect ect lol Quote
Stevie B Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 very good, i just got my mot done so wasting no time to fit mines S. Quote

Sparky Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I thought there was a UK spec GT?Nope all imports Quote
shelly_star Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 how much you get that decat for? looks good, where from? Quote
jon5698 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 Hi shelly, the decat cost me £124 delivered from america from a guy on ebay, he does loads of bits for the gt's forged pistons manifolds gasket sets ect. Here is a link to him on ebay just email him for prices ect. clicky Quote
shelly_star Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 oh yeh i did see that one, but heard stories about that company... let me know how the decat goes as thats a sweet price Quote
jon5698 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 What sort of stories? the only problem i had when fitting it was the brace was a bit too long and stopped the bolt from tightening, so i just took a bit off with my dremel and it fitted perfectly. Quote
shelly_star Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 what's it like to have the decat? Quote
jon5698 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 It is really good, you can deffo feel a diference with it and you can hear the turbo spool up more as well. Just need a manifold and full system next Quote
jon5698 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 Do you recognise the picture in my sig shelly? lol Quote
shelly_star Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Do you recognise the picture in my sig shelly? lol copyright........ joking,it's a good photo for your car"the only problem i had when fitting it was the brace was a bit too long and stopped the bolt from tightening, so i just took a bit off with my dremel and it fitted perfectly" ^^^^^^^^ hard to do?? and how? would it be the same for the glanza you reckon? Quote
jon5698 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 No it was easy, it only took 5 mins. The hardest part was removing the bottom bracket for old cat which connects to the exhaust, it took ages to loosen the bolts even with my air impact gun, apart from that was very easy. I think it would be the same for the glanza, i am very happy with the quality of the decat had it on since june and it still hasn't cracked. Quote
Marc Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Now that you have had more experience with the de-cat how is it now? What difference are u noticing?Better acceleration, top speed, mid pulling etc?]Asking because i'm buying one in January with a bltiz replica Zorst! Quote
