THS DeCat for LCR

[ThackersLCR]

Evening guys!
Just thinking about a de-cat pipe, theres a THS pipe on ebay (Im not advertising it) and am wondering if its any good. I personally have never heard of THS before, but im sure someone out there can give some feedback. I have tried a search before anyone asks, plenty on their intercoolers but not for de-cat.
Cheers

Seems good to me but i am the one selling it to be honest ive only seen decats for a focus and clio(cringe) an yea prob bias but it feels really well made an looks in top notch

out of all the people that could of replied! How does it sound? You stuck with the standard cat then or purchased a high flow?

i bought it part of a system off a guy on here so never fitted it done 300 miles, ill be digging deep next year for a sports one, Ive heard an ibiza around here with decat an full system an ill admit sounds s**t hot

More noise* no extra power in my experience.

My experience is 2nd hand having watched various LCRs (with and without) decat at various rolling road days

no first hand experience though



*the 1.8t is not that tunefull IMO so more noise doesn't = a good thing

Id like a highflow cat to replace the stock one on my LCR. Is there an easy way to do this?

 

[ThackersLCR]

High-folw cat = Expensive. Im under the understanding that the downpipe has to be changed for one of the better high-flow sports cats, instead of splitting into two, like the standard one, its a single 3" bore. Decent ones (asin downpipe (DP) and cat can be picked up form around 400 big ones, make sure you go for a respected make. I suppose you get what you pay for.

im lookin at a high flow cat,im assuming it sounds better,but does it give you any bhp gain at all?would it help when it comes to the remap?

 

[ThackersLCR]

id think it would help with a remap, as the turbo would be 'free'er' so to speak and spool up quicker, how much power, i dont know. Iv heard that de-cats are just noisier but release no massive power gains. Also there will be no faffing around with the high-flow when it comes to MOT time and no 'Oxygen sensor 2' throwing up fault codes.

So you know i would not sell somthing i would not buy to a fellow SCN member just so you know, Also it has a hole/screw bit where i asume you screw in a sensor
