BDA De-cat pipes batch 4

[enigma]

OK, it seems people still want these and I should be able to extend the range of pipes offered to include the VR4, V6 Sport, and GLS.

I am not willing to buy the flanges before getting 10 orders as it puts me well out of pocket, so as soon as I get 10 lots of money I will go in to mini mass production of 10 pipes!

Interested parties below please! Indicate your preference of VR4, V6, or GLS and PM me for payment details.

You may want to hold off payment until I have 8 or so names..........

De-cats

1. Scottish Ian (GLS) (paid)
2. Legnum Boy (VR4) (paid)
3. Kieran (Hordak) (paid)
4. NevGroom (VR4) (paid)
5. strangebat (VR4) (paid)
6. john_cfx (GLS) (payment pending)

[Bal]

lol how did my name get onto the list. what are the benefits etc?

[zentac]

I think Ive got a silencer there instead of a cat pipe. Can you remember when you looked at it Dave?

[enigma]

Bal, you are on the list because you expressed an interest in batch 3! The gains will be 2-5bhp on your GLS and a much nicer noise from the exhaust!

Rich, I cant say I noticed a cat under your car, there were 2 large silencers though.

[zentac]

no theres no CAT but I think theres a silencer decat pipe in there instead (if you see what I mean!)

[Big Ian]

Dave i got the gasket's today,made by a company called ARVIN , REF No=CLG9AW.. an they cost a whoppin £3.83 for the pair :dozey:
so when your ready i'll get them posted to you with all the sizes for a GLS.
ive you need any more detail's...."give us a shout"
also the centre bore of the gasket is 57mm :D

[NevGroom]

Dave

Yes please (2002 VR4)- What are payment details? What benefits? Where can I get it fitted?

Nev :dozey:

[simpsonm]

Fitting is straight forward unless yer bolts are seized like mine were.

You can do it yerself as its only 4 bolts. You will need two cat gaskets (I got mine from Mits).

If you don't want to do it yourself then a local garage would be able to do it. Bout 20 minutes work altogether.

[strangebat]

add me to the list dave (legnum).
another quick question-where did you get you're transmission cooler from? mine overheated again last week.

[freeman]

i contact you!

[strangebat]

dave, you still into doing another batch or have you not got enough interest

[enigma]

I will do more after Santa Pod..........busy preparing my car! :lipsrseal

[enigma]

OK, can you all reconfirm your interest and I will do a batch to suit the numbers

:)

[Legnum Boy]

[strangebat]

[Kieran]

Yep, Hordak's still not quite vocal enough! :-D

[strangebat]

Ian's still on holiday but I think he wanted one too

[Kieran]

Ian's still on holiday but I think he wanted one too

He did indeed! ;)

[strangebat]

dave do you want paying in advance to get materials, etc?

[zentac]

I think dave might be buying quite a large stock of materials this time ;)

[Kieran]

When will BDA fabrications be doing things like downpipes? I can't believe how CRAP the standard setup is! The two banks blow against each other!!!! :rolleyes5

[Big Ian]

:wavey: Hi Dave,yip i'll still ave one :D
do you need any info about the size of a GLS cat? :)

[enigma]

I am almost ready to order the flanges, just need to put my car back together!!!

When I do I should be able to start taking orders and payment!

[Kieran]

Jolly Good! :-b

[Paul Beazer]

Quick question, are the BDA De-cat pipes road legal? If I get one, i'll need to buy the car to with it!!!

[enigma]

Road legal........hmmmmmm, well up to 40 people are using them! Several have passed emmisions tests as well!

So I guess that is a yes kind of! :D

[NevGroom]

bigdaveakers@hotmail.com

If you cant do paypal let me know and I will PM you my details

[Legnum Boy]

[NevGroom]

Nev

[Big Ian]

[enigma]

[Big Ian]

If you give me the GLS measurements I will happily add them to my list! :D

can't remember :rolleyes: .....i'll post it later.would it help if i forwarded the gasket's or a template.as i have 2 new one's for fitting with a de-cat ?

[enigma]

You did post it before, but do it again anyway! Just measure the gaskets and send me the details. I cant imagine they are different!

[Big Ian]

DAVE,hear are the size's for a GLS De-Cat.......

the cat on a GLS is straight from end to end.
full length of cat (at each furthest part) 42cm or 16.5".
both flanges are at exact same position on each end.
center bore of the gasket is 57cm or 2.25" (2 and one quarter inch)
dead center of bolt hole's on the gasket are 9.6cm or 3.75" (3 and three quarter inch)

i'll post a pici of the gasket in a min...anything else?
(ive alter'd the pici to almost the actual size)

[NevGroom]

£55 just sent via Paypal. - Cheers Dave

Nev

[Big Ian]

[enigma]

OK 3 people have paid and I am giving you until the end of the week to get your orders in. This will probably be the last batch of decats as demand is slowing down and I have time consuming things to think about! :lipsrseal

[Spirit]

Just to re-assure people yet again, my second VR4 passed it's MOT on Friday with perfect emmissions.......and both had BDA de-cats fitted :-b

Snap one up NOW - worth every penny ;)

[Big Ian]

Dave are there much difference between the 2 ltr,2.5ltr and a VR4 cat pipe?

[wirdy]

Just to re-assure people yet again, my second VR4 passed it's MOT on Friday with perfect emmissions.......and both had BDA de-cats fitted :-b

Glad to hear it Pete. I was chicken & put my Cat back in for the recent MOT......then again the MOT was done at York Mitsi & I didn't want to take the pi$$!

[enigma]

Dave are there much difference between the 2 ltr,2.5ltr and a VR4 cat pipe?

From your measurements they are about the same!

[strangebat]

No more decats will be made for a while now, I have lots of other exciting things to do.........downpipes, engine swap, PVX, baby item shopping etc etc!

[enigma]

There is no pipe for you at this time, as I have said previously the offer is now closed. I MAY look at doing some in the new year, it all depends on interest and my other commitments.

Dave

[enigma]

Sorry to keep you all waiting guys, I have had family and personal things to attend in and amongst Christmas and New Year. Got all settled down to do them last week and......arrrrghhh no welding gas! I will be getting some this week and aim to make the pipes this weekend.

Again sorry for the delay :$

[strangebat]

no worries dave, I think any body would appreciate that you've been a bit busy of late, I personally will have to wait for a break in the weather combined with time off to fit the bloody thing :sad3:
so looking at around Easter :p

[Kieran]

No worries Dave. Just give me a shout when it's done and I'll pop over. :)

[Big Ian]

well worth the wait :D .....you may also be glad to no (or not?) that you will be helping with what may be the "last mod" my GLS is getting for a while :rolleyes5 .....well along the line's of helping with the performance (i'm going to fill the boot with sound's :-D )
got a lot of plan's for our family's future to sort out and get myself into a VR4 :D for early summer time
my wife has even said "dont you think you should keep the astra and sell the Galant for making way for.....that other car?..the faster one that Yan's got?"
it's OK now "I SOON PUT HER RIGHT!" :laugh: :laugh:

[simpsonm]

Just an enquiry Dave,

I know you're up to you're eyeballs in stuff atm, but will you be continuing with the front pipe production?


Cheers

Mick

[enigma]

I am hoping that when my engine comes out next week that I will be able to get it on a stand and work on it outside the car and in the garage...........we will see!

[simpsonm]

Cheers Dave

As I said in pm Dave you can put my name in the pot as a definite.

So please please please with a big fat red cherry on top, make some soon.

You know you can't keep away from them for too long.

By the way is there a way to keep the cat in good condition, just incase it ever needs to be refitted?

[enigma]

By the way is there a way to keep the cat in good condition, just incase it ever needs to be refitted?

A good taxidermist will help

[Roberto]

Ok, I asked for that one.

[colVR4]

I am in mucho need of one Dave as my cat has just died. There is a lot of rattling coming from inside of it at about 3,000 rpm and a garage nearby reckons it is the internals that have gone.
Does that sound right?

When are you planning to make some more? Cheers mate

[Kieran]

I am in mucho need of one Dave as my cat has just died. There is a lot of rattling coming from inside of it at about 3,000 rpm ...

Sorry to hear about that mate... That's odd - Dennis just hisses and yowls angrily if I try and rotate him at about 3000 rpm.... He doesn't rattle though..... Mind you, if I let go, that would probably kill him too..... I still think he would go SPLAT rather than rattle though?! :rolleyes4 /yes


I know..... I'll get my coat!! :embarasse

[colVR4]

It could be the letting go that killed my cat then!!

I have got it booked in for its 54,000 (108,000 actually) next week so I will get them to look at it. Still want to get the cat-bypass pipe from Dave though for the extra hp and volume :)

[Mikesone]

Dave
Any Decats available for a Legnum VR4 (96 Vintage)

Mike

[enigma]

[colVR4]
