carl0s Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 how much does a pair of De-Cat pipes for UK spec cost? Actually, I mean to ask where is the cheapest place to buy them. Am I right in thinking they're different for the UK-spec? Also I'll be hoping to get a Tanaba Super Racing Medalion cat-back exhaust. Is there anything I need to be aware of with my car being UK and not Jap-spec? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 ouch £300. So if I can get some kind of double-decat pipe for £150 I should probably go for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 ok I understand. I think my MOT bloke would be friendly with me, but we'll see. I've been offered a 3" stainless-steel de-cat pipe that does both cats, for UK spec, for £150. Is 3" what I want? Restrictor ring isn't needed on the UK spec is it. ooooh power. i'm getting excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
