SilverSoop Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi all, i have a really big problem, since my supe has gone into the garage for the gearbox fault, somewhere along the lines somebody has damaged my front pipe and my cat because the front pipe is now blowing and my 2nd cat is rattling. So i was wondering does anyone have a 2nd decat pipe (front pipe) for sale????? I know p111ddy has got one but his car is still up gvn and i really need one now because its only going to get worse and i dont want to risk damaging her....

Thanks razza i really appreciate that but i really need a front pipe too because thats blowing. The rattling would stop but the blowing wouldnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 not sure which part you mean. Do you mean the first decat pipe from the engine whcih replaces the cat? If so this is a direct replacement for the cat I have... Or do you mean the rear decat pipe? confused:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Where is it blowing? It could be just a gasket, or may just weld up if cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where the pipe joins from the first cat to the second, it looks to have been forceably removed because there is a slight gap which is causing the blowing and you can feel it quite clearly. It wasnt like that when i bought it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definetely not a gasket because it looks to have been removed with some sort of tool judging by the way the shape of the gap is, which is causing the blowing of my exhaust. Plus, my 2nd cat is rattling anyway so basically to fix it, a 2nd decat pipe would stop the rattling of the cat and blowing and give me more power in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 all makes sense now;) you're not having much luck are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sounds like they either have mounted the exhaust incorrectly or have missed installing a gasket. It's be pretty darn hard to bend a pipe so bad the flanges don't sit flush! The exhaust would have had to come off to do the gbox work which is why I'd say it's incorrect installation rather than it being bent. What is the cat back system? Some systems are not straightforward to fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a jasma exhaust system with both cats in place but i need a 2nd decat to get rid of the blowing and the rattling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasma isn't an exhaust, it's a "approved exhaust" stamp used by aftermarket companies to say that it's certified for use in Japan (kind of like the E-mark we have in Europe). If the exhaust has this stamp it'll be some basic exhaust system for the supra and nothing special. I bet this is all down to bad installation or some other factor (like heat shield rattle). Either that or they've ragged the car over a speed hump Feel free to drop by if you want me to take a quick look for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the car the other day while the gearbox guys filled my g/box up with some v160. The cat is definetely rattling and as for the bad installation, you can actually see the gap and feel the exhaust fumes if you put your hand under it. Its a total bodge job, i just want to know who put that exhaust back on! Yeh if i could please homer, let me know when you're not busy, pm me, ring or text and i'll show you...
