Hi,
Its on ebay, item 150697251038. Cost me £110 from a reputable exhaust decat manufacturer. Entirely made from quality stainless....good welds, very thick too, and mounting flanges are solid.
This one I bought was the wrong one for my car, though is the correct one for this model range. I have the 130 Pdi AWX engine.
I have since found out that 4 CAT manufacturers were used for this model of car. The company I bought it from sent me the pics of each CAT so I identified the correct one, and now have that fitted.
I have this to sell and to ensure you have the right CAT it replaces, there is a picture on ebay that shows the CAT. The other 3 CATS look way different from this one, so you wont get confused.
Benefits I have noticed from decatting my car......pick up is better, some power gains, certainly the car is much crisper and definitely nicer to drive.
Fuel economy has improved...on a long run I can get over 600 to a tank, previously I could manage just under 500. Reports say the engine bay is 50DegC cooler around where the CAT used to be.
Finally, it went through its MOT no problems last week. The CAT has been on for 2 months now (not the one I'm selling!)
I searched high and low for a good decat pipe. Most I found were aluminium, or just poor quality...until I found this scottish company (off the top of my head I cant remember, but can look if you ask). Stainless is the principal material I was after, as I did not want problems later on with corrosion or stress. This decat pipe ticks all the boxes in this regard.
Anyway, if your interested, pop over to ebay and have a look.
Thanks.
