Title: De-Cat pipe - DTi
Post by: VXL V6 on 01 August 2010, 11:16:45

Does anyone know who supplies these for the 2.2DTi?

Heard lots of good feedback on de-cating the DTi as a Cat isn't a legal requirement on a diesel.

Many thanks

couldnt see any on ebay, might be worth a trip to "tip top" exhausts in aston to see how much to knock one up in stainless?

A few people have removed the Cat so i'm assuming it doesn't. Will have to take a closer look  :y

No Lambda post CAT so no worries there.

Looking at the design of the exhaust on both the estate and the saloon DTi's (identical until it gets to the rear) it looks like the simplest solution would be to remove the down pipe and CAT (looks to be one complete unit like the V6's) then get someone to cut the cat off, weld a flange on then make up a straight pipe the two flanges.

Anyone know a good metalworker? Sassanach are you there?!!!!
