So scorpion de cat pipes, around £100 all in, is there any need, surely ill breathe a bit better with one on, are there any bhp increases. Ive got an lcr, mods so far are forge 007p and tip, pipercross panel filter and thats it so far...

if you remove your cat, the lambda sensor will think your car is running too high emissions and the eml light wil come out. if you have the rear lambda sensor mapped out by a tuner then this wont happen.

Welchy, depending on your car, why dont you get the downpipe kit for £90 delivered from Belgium (if yours is the Cupra). comes with decat pipe. i have one fitted to mine and remove the decat and had the downpipe mated to oem cat.

I've got the leon cupra r 210 bam i think, well i know its an lcr just not which engine... So the lambda will be the problem giving dodgy readings i guess, its got the input on it for a lambda sensor, does that just get blanked?Is there any point going for it or is it better to spend the hard earned elsewhere?

cheers again!

Look on you engine under the cover bottom left, if it's 210 it won't be bam there 225 ,. They help spool the turbo up a tad quicker won't really notice a huge difference with out a full cat back exhaust

i have the scorpion decat on my car, turbo spools quicker, more low end grunt and sounds awsome, the only thing with a decat, its more difficult to drive off boost for fuel runs. but i love mine, cant go wrong for £100. also come mot time its a easy swap for the cat.
