Guest Carsten Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hey guys, i now read all topics regarding downpipes and couldnt figure out which diameter to choose. I currently run a "near" BPU jspec TT. Now i want to take it a bit further by installing a downpipe and a BC. Only limitation i´ve got: Maximum 1.1 Bar. Nothing more! So my question is: Would it be enough to install a BC and bolt a 1st Decat pipe in. Or do i need to replace both cats? If the first decat is enough and i install a restrictor ring for about 1.1 bar, would it be wiser to choose a 2.5" decat pipe or a 3"? Thanks in advance Carsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Have you got 1.1 with both cats in mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carsten Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Currently i´m running between 0,6 and 0,75 Bar with Both cats in (and a third small cat which is empty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistermann Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sorry to hijack but can you use a 3" 2nd decat with a 2.5" 1st decat? or do both need to have the same diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 3" all the way through and use a restrictor ring to pull boost back down to about 1.2bar if you have an FCD fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistermann Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If the restrictor ring has a smaller diameter than the decat pipes would it make too much of a difference though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice Wez, but would it be possible to run a full 3" with the stock second cat? Just for legal issues here in germany (the smell of a full decat is very obvious ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks for your advice Wez, but would it be possible to run a full 3" with the stock second cat? Just for legal issues here in germany (the smell of a full decat is very obvious ) You could cut open the cat, remove the insides and then weld it back together. If you do leave one cat fitted you might need a boost controller to raise the boost, as Wes says I'd make sure you have an EGT gauge fitted.

Guest Carsten Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Tried them yes. But the price of the jperformance downpipe is just unbeatable. Know traders on here charge about 130 gbp for the downpipe + shipping to germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
