BDA decat pipes batch 3

[enigma]

Due to public demand I have just ordered another batch of stainless steel so I can produce my 3rd batch of decat pipes (and a couple of custom exhausts and my long awaited downpipe!).

Due to rising steel prices (and the desire to make more the £2 per pipe) I have to put the price up to £55 including P&P.

I should have enough steel to make pipes for anyone that wants them, and am happy to announce that I now have a jig for V6 pipes too. If someone wants to donate a GLS pipe then I will look at making one for you too!

If you want one reply to this thread and I will get busy!

:shrug:

[Jimbo]

Oh yeah, I'm interested. :-b

I meant to ask you about these on Sunday, BDA, but forgot....how do you fit them (and remove them for say an MOT emissions test)? I'm assuming the CAT element of the exhaust is dropped out and the decat pipe goes where that was......or is there any welding required?

On mine, at the back of the cat, I've now got a 2.5" stainless pipe (I think the standard was 2.25?) - this isn't a problem is it?

Has anybody here had to temporarily put their CAT back on to pass an MOT?

[enigma]

Bolt on, bolt off ;)

3 or 4 people have passed emissions with them now :-b

[Jimbo]

Fantastic, even I could fit them then! Mark me down, mate, nice one!

(oh, and PM me your payment details....whatever's best for you).

[Kieran]

Hi Dave,
Please would you add me to your list, 1 de-cat pipe for my newly aquired Legnum VR4 :D .
I saw your website and your exhaust, looks good , could you tell me how noisy it is, I don't really want a loud exhaust but I do want a free flowing one. I've had janspeed systems before on other cars and they have been good but some I have had get a bit droney and annoying on motorway journeys, please pm me with details of how and where etc for the de-cat, I am hoping to be at Dumfries, if you are going also we could meet up there, otherwise I'll send my address, cheers for now Louis

[enigma]

Wow! That went better than expected! I will be picking up the materials this evening, and will go in to production in 2 weeks (busy!) I will let you all know how to pay me in due course.

Sorry about the delay I have had family issues. I will get them packaged up at the weekend and get them sent asap.

If anyone else wants a decat pipe I have enough tube for maybe 20 more!!!!! :D

Let us know if it makes any difference to your exhaust note Andy.... Hordak is far too quiet for my liking!

The GLS was suited to stealth... The Sport needs to make more of an aural statement!!! :-D

:sad3: Ooooooooo! Kieran are you dis'n the GLS? i'll have to make you eat your word's next week!! don't forget your ear plug's,as i can see,hear an taste Dave and myself havin a "DUEL" sound off :laugh: :laugh: .and if anyone has a digi cam-cord thingy,then all member's will see +hear the might of the GLS sound against the mighty VR4 sound :-D

[nick-f1]

Thanks Dave- received my decat pipe too this morning. Looks good- only snag is now have to fit it before my hols :rolleyes5

Cheers

Nick

[Kieran]

:sad3: Ooooooooo! Kieran are you dis'n the GLS?


Good heavens no! It's just my GLS was totally standard and I rather liked the 'stealth' ability. No one noticed if I was being naughty or not!!! :$ I just sailed past!

However, the sport has a lot more presence in standard form, and I think the soundtrack needs a boost!

[HJM]

Got mine today as well - thanks very much, Dave :thumb1:

'My man' is fitting it on Thursday - don't like getting muck under my fingernails :-D

[Nick Mann]

Good luck, Heath! If the old bolts come out easily, your worries are over!

[Jimbo]

I haven't got mine :Cry1:

All I got was a Royal Mail collection slip ;) Looks like my tried and tested plan of letting the neighbours sign failed miserably!

:lolz:

[ritch_w]

??

[nick-f1]

Thanks Dave- received my decat pipe too this morning. Looks good- only snag is now have to fit it before my hols :rolleyes5

Cheers

Nick

Bummer! Was all set to fit it this morning at our band drummers garage and He rang to say............................ hoist is bug***ed :sad3:

[Jimbo]

Got it! Picked it up from Royal Mail today. Thanks Dave :thumb1: , excellent stuff, well worth it!

[ritch_w]

Fitted mine today - although just slightly shorter than the cat - the extra play in the exhaust made up for this.

looks the dugs baws!!! :-b

i think it even sounds better when i boot it now!!! :D :D

highly recommended! :-b

[enigma]

Glad it went on OK, was a bit worried for a while! :$

[HJM]

Good luck, Heath! If the old bolts come out easily, your worries are over!


:lolz: Sorry, Nick, it's Heath that doesn't like to get his hands dirty - it's booked into the garage on Thursday to be fitted :laugh:

[Legnum Boy]

If these are still being made, I would like to be added to the list, please please please..... :-D

If not..... :Cry1:

[freeman]

I'm interesting too!
but can you ship to Switzerland?
I have a galant 2.0 16v GLS

[enigma]

Current commitments make it trick at the moment but there will be a batch 4!!! :D

Need a GLS to pratice on though!

[Legnum Boy]

Please put me at the top of the list for batch 4....
I will pay handsomely for the privilage... :-D

[Kieran]

/Ahem....


:soapbox:

IAN!!!!!!

Oh, and Hordak would like to try a V6 Sport De-cat too! :-D

[Big Ian]

i'll have a word with a bloke i know in a tyre and exhaust center for a lone of a ramp for 10 min's an i'll measure mine and see about getting a couple of gasket's so as you can get the bolt hole's to line up on a de-cat pipe for a GLS.also i'll take a pici and do a sketch so as you can see the way the end's meat :D OKAY DOAKY?

[Big Ian]

:D DAVE, some info about the size of a GLS cat-conv,

The end to end lengh is 42cm (16.5"),
Both fixing end's are held by 2 bolt's,
Both fixing's are the same oval shape,
both end's are at the same position on the pipe.

i am getting 2 gasket's today (not mitsy item's,i'll post up the code's later) ,which will give a size for the center bore and the fixing bolt's
i hope this make's some sort of sense?..how does the lengh compare to a VR4 cat replacment?

[enigma]

It is very different to the VR4, but sounds exactly the same as the V6!

Maybe you and Kieran could contact Mitsubishi and get part numbers for the cat and compare?

[Big Ian]

i'll have a word with the guy getting me the gasket's as he has both version's in his ref-book.if they are the same then both part number's should be the same on a copy"CAT" exhaust :laugh: :laugh: :lipsrseal

[Big Ian]

Maybe you and Kieran could contact Mitsubishi and get part numbers for the cat and compare?

they are different,ive checked through 4 diff,part's book's and they all hold different code's for both part's :sad3:

[nick-f1]

Hey Dave, finally got around to fitting my de-cat pipe this afternoon at my mates garage it fitted perfectly :-D no trouble at all. Shame I could not give it any welly on the way home'cos of the 6'o clock traffic in Poole so that will have to wait till tomorrow. Anyway thanks again

Cheers Mate
