De-cat do i or dont i

[Pants]

Here s the prob

Recently purchased a full de-cat system from scooby clinic i ve fitted the cat back section and silencer for now(tasty peice of kit)a little worried about the de-catted downpipe(it s massive 3 inch all the way back).

Read a few posts/threads saying i should nt need a re-map also read a few saying i would

1.Will the engine be ok without a re-map? am i gonna melt stuff pistons etc?

2.If i need a re-map can the 97 uk ecu be re-mapped or will i have to replace it?

3.How much will a re-map set me back?

 

Look forward to your replies cheers

1. Definitely go for the full decat. It is the best £ to BHP mod you can do. Getting a remap does get the best out of the exhaust swop but its not essential. When you do it reset the ECU

2. I'm sure I've read that Jolly Green Monster (AKA Simon) has recently got/is getting a new bit of kit to remap the earlier ECU's. Get in touch with him and he will help you out. 

3. Your looking at £500+

MOT this week,De-cat next week,hopefully a remap in the next couple of months then.

Just needed to know it was safe to fit without the remap cos it s sat in the kitchen and she wants it out the way and i cant wait to put it on the car.

Thanks again

Bottom End went on my motor 1 months after flame kit/Decat was fitted

Was told by MECHANICS its been on its way out for ages..

& having the DECAT would NOT have caused that...[]

OK cheers Baz for clearing that up [Y]

[scoots]

Go for it! Just ordered mine, should be here on wednesday[Y] hopefully have it fitted by the weekend, just need to talk to deano about fitting it.

[markie]

Get it fitted[Y] you'll love the sound + the spool up is a lot quicker[H] run my classic for 2 years before it was re maped with no probs[]

I have been told some of the classic pre face life can't be re-maped as ecu is fixed face lift have mapable ecu but people say it should be fine to de-cat without re-map. It's what i have been told by essex scoobies.

They never used to be but Jolly Green Monster has got/is getting a new bit of kit to remap the earlier ECU's that were previously un-mappable.
