Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Hi all just after a it of advice for a replacement part, my NA just had an mot, past with flying colours, part from an issue with the exhaust gases leaking from the flexi pipe from the manifold to the cat, I've managed to have look underneath in the garage and can see a nice hole, my local garage have spoken to Toyota for the part and they came back with A ridicules price of £700, before even the garage touching it, is there anyway of sourcing this pipe, or something similar that isn't over priced? Anyone else had the same problem Cheers Ash Edited February 21, 2015 by Ash808 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Burley Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Speak to Keron on this forum - he breaks loads of supras - I am sure he will find you a second hand one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Or replace the front cat with a de cat pipe? I have always managed to weld these up though, once they are off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 i presume Chris that will solve the issue, the garage did suggest trying to plug the hole, or try and weld it but he wasn't confident in taking it out due to the age on the bolts, but that would only fix the issue for it to get it through the mot, but I'm sure a while the hole will just "return" what's the best de cat pipe to use?

Graham1984 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ash mate you can get a brand new 1st decat from Whifbitzs for £168 iirc. If you pm Paul to see if he has any offers on them you maybe lucky to get offered free postage http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/garage-whifbitz-981.html I have these but they were listed as a 2.5 decat..... hmmm. If you don't have a 2nd decat already he does a 1st and 2nd decat for around £260... Also tell that garage to **** off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Cheers Gray il send him a message, I only have a first from the manifold, the second has been removed, but the pipe looks pretty crap tbh could do with being replacing that also, I presume if they fit hrs they should fit mine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 1st decat that splits into two going into the manifold is the one that makes more difference IMO. Is your one totally knackered then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Cat looks fine just rusty, it's the flexi looking bit from the cat that is split/ nasty hole in it that's leaking gases, so it failed the mot on that, from what u and Chris is saying, I mite as well get a decat pipe from Paul and replace the lot, and replace the pipe where the 2nd use to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This. Keep the 2nd cat though as sometimes you may need them for MOT purposes when being decat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 That's the thing I have no 2nd one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just replace them both then £260 to their £700 quote is a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash808 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Don't think it will effect the emissions, can remember reading something about the "NA doesn't exist" so it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
