ZedMeister Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hey guys got a few questions and looking for general experiences with them. I'm quite a rookie in the DIY field but willing to give it a bash myself, so, are they easy enough to install? The connection at the exhaust manifold seems impossible to get to without the correct tool, or just a tight squeeze with a normal rachet? I plan on buying O2 simulators from Alex, where do they get fitted too? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hey guys got a few questions and looking for general experiences with them.

I plan on buying O2 simulators from Alex, where do they get fitted too? Graeme, Quite an easy job mate but best done on a ramp. Soak the nuts and bolts/studs overnight with WD 40 or similar. Good ratchet, sockets and extensions will be required. The O2 sims screw into the rear of the cat or de-cat and then the O2 sensor screws into the O2 sim. The de-cat pipes may have them built in, so you may not require them. Alex. Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 They're fairly easy to fit - the exhaust manifold end can be the fiddliest - 2 of the nuts can be undone from underneath the car with the 3rd being easiest to undo from above with a long ratchet extension. O2 extenders just screw into the pipes and then the sensor screw into the extenders Quote
ZedMeister Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks lads, I take it we are talking generally similar performance ^ stats and noise increase between the two brands? I wasn't going to bother high the high flow cats due to monies. Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I've not done any power tests between ours and Japspeed, but I'd imagine they're pretty much the same. I'd recommend going for silenced pipes, the non-silenced are pretty raspy. Quote

ZedMeister Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Ps, sensor holes fitted would mean I'd still need the o2 sims, yeah? Quote
Dblock Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I've got some h dev silenced decats but no cel? Quote
goodatcrashing Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I've got some h dev silenced decats but no cel? Might have been uprev mapped before your ownership? That would remove the CEL. Quote
Dblock Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I've got some h dev silenced decats but no cel? Might have been uprev mapped before your ownership? That would remove the CEL. I very much doubt it when I first joined alot of people was saying it was impossible to do, the remap that is. Quote
Chris`I Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah UpRev hasnt been available that long in the UK Quote
