Has anyone successfully fitted one of these ebay decats themselves with just axle stands at home?  I was told that it was impossible and had to be fitted by a garage for some reason?

The 2-piece 3" downpipes are easier to fit than the 2.5" 1-piece downpipes. I was lucky enough to have the use of a ramp when I did mine, but I cannot see why you wouldn't be able to do it with the car up on axle stands. Unless people mean that you need to shift the standard exhaust back far enough or remove it completely so that you can get the downpipe off, in which case it might be slightly trickier.

oops - wrong thread

Worth bearing in mind it says in the listing...

 

SKODA OCTAVIA 132KW/180 ENGINE CODE AUQ 01/2001 - 04/2003 WILL NOT FIT RS MODELS

Not sure why, when it states the AUQ engine code!

Well yeh.  Considering it says Skoda Octavia 1.8T in the description.  The VRS is the only Skoda that has the 1.8T engine...

No its not......

Its wont fit 4x4 model but will fit the VRS fine.

1.8T was fitted in a few octavia models the L&K for example

Its also in the superb

I've just purchased this ebay special and it has a dent in the pipe turbo end?? Can anyone tell me if the dent should be there?

Also will it fit onto the standard exhaust pipe, as I will be keeping standard cat back? Want to fit tomorrow so would appreciate any heads up. Cheers guys
