MARCUSep91 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 hi guys im thinkin of decatin my car at the weekend for around 150 quid cust made with downpipe. just wondering is there anything that needs doing or looking out for after decating the car ? im aware of boost creep and the puting in a ring in the pipe or sumfing to stop overboosting. also is this going to make it stupidly loud ? pops n bangs n all sorts ?! not after being too loud but would mind the odd overun noise lolany help be great thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 youll be hitting fuel cut on cold nights for sure. unless youve got that covered. yes it will be lots louder. and you might get the odd pop and bang. the noise all depends on the system you have. mine is silyl silly loud, but i have a fuji power getter. so i expected it. also, 150 quid is steep for a decat mate...

MARCUSep91 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 yeah i was expecting it to be cheaper. thanks mate im prob guna wait till till get all the other bits first really want a front mount first just getting time to do all this reli is the problem :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 mate get a zep one from sikillamart. its braced too for extra strengh.ive noticed no extra noise from my decat, but i have standard exhaust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 you need to sort e decent zorst out kierz. its the one single boggest restriction on the starlet. they come to life with a good exhaust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Get a zep, or if youre running a cast manifold, go for a japspeed..There even cheaper.As for noise, as Rick stated, it all depends on the rest of youre system.I'd personally fit the manifold AND decat together, when you have the tools out may as well save time and do both..Or just remove the cast oem manifold and carefully grind out the restriction with a dremel.

keirz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 5Zigen Pro Racer A Spec is on the cards rick soon as the coilovers and intercooler are donei only got the zep decat now because it was such a bargin and to be honest ive seen good gains from fitting the decat.

StarletRick Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 wait till you fit the zorst, youll free up about 10 ft/lbs of turque. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 decat made huge difference...it also turneed my omgwtfexpensive Hayward & Scott exhaust from low-key, refined sounding, to a Barry Boys special. It's not too bad, it's damn burbly for a 1.3L engine, and it makes a nice sound...but seriously, the Blitz Decat has multiplied the volume by 2 or 3 times, it's silly loud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
