Test Pipe on otherwise stock exhaust
Someone asked for my opinion on this and I feel I'm ready to speak on the matter. I recently added the decat to my otherwise stock exhaust at a grand cost of around

thanks for that SaxoBoy, I'm probably going to revert back to my stock exhaust as my T1-R is too loud for Donington sound limits so I was interested to hear whether it was worth me keeping hold of my test pipe. I may just sell the T1-R and text pipe together as the test pipe does remove a lot of the 3.5K exhaust drone.

My conclusion is that de-catting a stock S is a waste of time.
I can understand it on turbo lump where the cat's restrictive, but not on a n/a lump with a high-flow cat installed?
Maybe someone can enlighten me...

Paper, use a load of plus gas before hand and let it soak, will be fine

But the studs are welded in, I don't think plusgas will work I've had the cat on and off a couple of times, its just a pain trying to force the exhaust towards the rear of the car to pop the cat away from the exhaust
