Hi all,

I have been around for a few yrs now lol but have lost a lot of contacts ref exhaust options. What i thought was a gasket blow has ended up a hole on the passenger side exhaust by the cat area. I know i could do a cat delete but my turbos have never been renewed and i don't want to go from an exhaust to a full engine lift replacing turbo seals. So my questions are where could i get replacements or if the worst comes to the worst.....where is the best place to get de-cats. I already have stainless from cat back. I suppose they haven't done bad considering they have never been changed. Thanks

Hi In the end I did have to pull my engine, but that was for an oil leak, I had sports cats fitted, I was advised that getting rid of the cats will put more force through the turbos and if they are worn might kill them prematurely.

Yer thats what i worry about. For many years i've seen people starting off de-catting exhaust to end up pulling engine. Where did you get your cats from? Where they all the way to manifold?? Cheers

I looked on google for custom made exhaust in my area, found fast lane in Romford.

Was it expensive? Just trying to gauge options at this stage. Do the cats keep suffice back pressure? I will have a look now lol

Well it was about £450

I have seen their adverts on Ebay - decent prices and a fair choice of tail pipes.... I did wonder about the quality etc., so will certainly welcome a product review!

So far so good for me, cats installed Jan 2019 rear section Feb 2020

Very simple looking set up to what i took off today lol

Looks like mild steel welding on stainless tubing.God knows why places do that.
