That's exactly what I'm thinking bowders ! Or even use the original cat welded into a link pipe , that's interchangeable , just got to decided on what I should be running system wise after the cat

So far it all seems very taboo , someone I know got a mot and his car was so low they couldn't get it on the ramp and he still got a mot , asked about my car and he said no chance emmisions is a risky business ! I really don't want to be re fitting my original down pipe !!

Right my mot is due And I've had the car stage 2 mapped which involved a de cat , now I'm looking for a new exhaust and thinking sports cat to stop all this faffing around around mot time , would a 200cell car be fine to run on a stage 2 map ? . As I've started looking into getting a custom exhaust made up ? . As well as other options as in cut original cat out of down pipe and have it on 2 flanges so you have a interchangeable pipe ( de/cat(straight pipe) then cat ) Just tryin to price my options up ATM Any info will be truly helpful as always guys Regards randy

On my phone my bad :( search function doesn't work on it . Thanks snow Muncher !!

Any one done this mod ? Cars going stage 2 very soon , do was reading into this .. Hotter spark better reliability can enlarge plug gap , is it worth it ? Or just bull ? It's either do this conversion , or buy 4 brand new std coils packs for it will prob get the red ones from awesome performance

Bought a de cat jobbie will worry about MOT in feb when it's due haha , bring on the shark stage 2 map !! Standard to stage 2 no sweat !! Exspect crash photos soon ....

Just get a 100 cell jobby ? And will be fine for stage 2 and should scrape an mot ?

Really feeling the need for going stage 2 only thing holding me back is the exhaust set up ; eg downpipe and cat Ive got a non resonated center section to go on going to the standard back box for now . Also it's either de cat with and eBay special / something like this : Look at this on eBay: SKODA OCTAVIA 2001-2003 1.8T 20v 180BHP DECAT DE CAT PIPE EXHAUST http://bit.ly/OJUgRv Or I've found jetex do the same thing with a highflow sports cat , Look at this on eBay: Skoda Octavia 1 1U Saloon 1.8T RS S/S Jetex D.pipe/Hi Flow Cat 41T10R200 02-04 http://bit.ly/Pd9DSF Really don't want hassle around MOT's With changing it all back for std set up Or it's buy the eBay job and find a local welder to weld the flange from de cat link pipe to it as you can pick up cheaper bolt in / weld in hight glow cats for very little money . Regard Sean

No real difference noticed yet but the cars not mapped , although I would say throttle response is better and you can keep giving it the beans with no real heat soak issues

Running an eBay special FMIC Seems to do its work and for the price can't complain, takes a whole longer to route the pipes but I got it on in a day . Looking at buying an intake temp gauge too see what level it's keeping the temps down too ATM .

The bay is getting there slowly fitted intake pipe today and cold side dv relocation , and down I can hardly hear it dump running a forge 008 I'm still on standard map ATM only 10 psi , when the valve was in standard position it have a lovely dump sound through the filter now it's hardly noticeable , is it purely because of the length if pipe it has to travel through now and will it come back once itsvre mapped at boost is up at 18psi ??

I've got the clip o now but it just seems like the pipe is far to tight like there's a lot of places it could rub etc are they just generally this tighter fit ?

Right currently fitting my sillicone pipe and it's a really tight fit and rubbing/ sittin on a solid metal pipe , and how the hell do you get a jubilee or something on the turbo end ???

i really dont want to de cat aswel tho ! could i run std cat or idealy run a 100/200 cell hi flow sports cat ?

So with my mods ? A 3 " down pipe would make me ready for a stage 2 map ??
