ZedGreg Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Currently running standard exhaust but wanting to beef the noise a bit...thinking decats (keep originals for mot time). Worrying if they will bring the eml on straight away or is there any preventative measures you can take to prevent it?? And if eml goes on will she go into limp mode? Not ready for a remap before that gets suggested. Many thanks for all help! ^_^ Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote
GMballistic Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Yes De-Cats will cause the EML to come on. You can buy 02 spacers but with De-Cats that's really not (imo) going to make a blind bit of difference and the only way to stop the EML coming on is by going down the remapping (UpRev) route. The car shouldn't go into any sort of "limp home" mode though although some people do question that the car will run lean at higher Rpm's with De-Cats fitted without getting an UpRev done. I know a few members though who have fitted De-Cats and ran their Zeds for years without getting any remapping done so that seems pretty unfounded tbh. Hope that helps. Quote
ZedGreg Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Thats a massive help thanks. Seems an uprev maybe the only option as i prefer the eml to work properly (in case anything else goes faulty) Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Just fit a couple of £15 spacers onto the O2 sensors, will cure the issue 95% of the time. Every one should have a cheapy OBD2 code reader in their car these days anyway, given that we all have smartphones. Quote
-Bradders- Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Fitted spacers to mine, 4 months back. not had eml since. i'd say they work perfect. 1 Quote

ZedGreg Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Sorry to flood the thread but is there any reasonably budget decats that people recommend? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Spacers from Clark Motorsport, trader on here. Quote

-Bradders- Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Got these on mine, fitment is perfect. no issues, can't see why you'd need to pay £300 more for some branded ones when they look identical lol. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/02-06-Nissan-350Z-Stainless-Steel-DE-CAT-DECAT-PIPE-/112138891574?hash=item1a1bffb136:m:mgm74bBINzadv81_5eI59WQ Got my spacers from Chris @ Tarmac Sportz too.

Heard of them not working very well in the past for a fair few people but I guess for the £12-£15 they cost they've got to be worth trying then as you've proven. 1 Quote
