Little H Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Just spent all day trying (definetly trying) to fit my downpipe decat. Nice and easy apart from 1 blinking screw on the heat gaurd. Cuts, Bruises and so nearly threw my tools at the wall bi style. Anyway summary, not fitted but will be by Wednesday by Urban Racing....[O] Still pisssscccchhhhiiiinnnngggg away nicely though
Little H Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 didnt even get that far....didnt even get past the friggin heat shield, i think i will stick to stone chips..[:'(]
Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 should've give me a shout!!!!!!! dead easy to do they are.... changed one today for a mate who needs his d/p cat putting back on for MOT, and going back on tue to swap back!
Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 top tip is to use 6 sided sockets or spaners NOT 12 sided ones........
warby Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Steve i hate to say it but i told you spanner rash is not nice.
Little H Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 Better than some of the rash ive had.....[]
ANDYJDMSTI Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Hahahahaha.........when i helped do mine we had the same problem with one bugger of a screw on the heat shield, ended up leaving it and had no problems []
*Andy* Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Steve i hate to say it but i told you spanner rash is not nice. But not as bad as hammer rash[] Well worth changing the downpipe, I was surprised just how much difference it made when I changed mine
Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Did warn you mate! its not that hard a job............. can be on and off in a hour............ or 1 1/2 if you decide to wrap the pipe as well!
rasher Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 can be on and off in a hour............ only if carried out by a cracking good mechanic[]
Little H Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 can be on and off in a hour............ only if carried out by a cracking good mechanic[] PMSL....learned my lesson Urban Racing dooing it tomorrow

Little H Posted February 10, 2006 Author Posted February 10, 2006 its been done today and wow what a difference not too much louder low revs but when boost kicks in wicked, such a noticable power difference.....[] Cant wait till i decat the centre now
rasher Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 will you get it re mapped after this work has been done??
Little H Posted February 10, 2006 Author Posted February 10, 2006 Once the full decat is on and ive rated the intercooler, then its mapping time
