DerekW Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Hi folks, Thought I'd let you know that I got a decat downpipe fitted by C&C in Hillington on Friday and they did a great job. They also replaced the resonator section with a straight through pipe. Car is driving great and sounds even better than before without being too loud (WR Sport backbox). I'll probably schedule a tweak to my remap in the New Year........... Cheers, Derek
chris_c201 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Alright Derek, How much were you for the downpipe? (if you don't mind me asking) Did they fabricate it or did you supply it? Cheers Chris
DerekW Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 Chris, I supplied the downpipe myself - got a good second hand one with only a couple of thousand miles on it then wrapped it myself. Also had the resonator replacement pipe. Cost £100 +VAT to fit both - not bad since they had some problems with bolts that wouldn't come off! I previously asked them for a supply and fit price for a downpipe and they wanted £293. Hope this helps, Derek
chris_c201 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Cheers mate.. Looking to do this in the new year, would most likely go down the route of just getting them to fit it as well.. Chris.
weeb Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 excellent m8, i got my system done at c&c, brill work. get a back box and get the car sounding loud and wicked!!
tayscooby Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 no offence as not sure how much trouble they had fitting it but seems a tad expensive on the fitting side....
DerekW Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 Probably more than I expected to be honest but if it took 3 hours then it's only about £30 an hour. I was quoted £45/hour plus vat by AWD in Perth. No offence taken!
wrxmania Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Good work by C&C again. You pay for quality and expertise. Did they make you gaskets too for the downpipe as that may be part of the cost? Brian
corsa Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Good job, i seen your car when i was in on Friday dropping off my 3" exhaust off the corsa for some modifications. Top blokes they are.
des_curran Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Derek, I'm having a magnex turbo up pipe and de-cat downpipe fitted on friday at hypertech, did you notice much of a difference after getting the downpipe ?

The power delivery is smoother and the car picks up a bit quicker too. Oh, and the sound.............. Derek
