wanted Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Ive just had my Japspeed decats fitted with a Cobra Y pipe and the rasp is horrible. I left the standard backbox on to avoid this but it hasn't worked. So after a wasted day, a waste of money on the decats and a MASSIVE labour bill that i should have known better and sorted the price of first, i'm p111sed off with myself, the car and the amount of money i've paid out Anyone have any suggestions to get rid of the rasp, or do i just put the cats back on. I Lose interest i cars easily and this might be it for the zed, i hate chucking money away. If I can't get rid of the rasp without taking them off then if anyone wants the decats cheap let me know, that sound is not for me.

370Ad Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Is the title long enough?! As for the rasp any cat delete product will give you a certain amount. Silenced decats or HFC's would have been a better choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Massive labour bill shouldn't have been more than £50-£75 surely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced decats or HFC's would have been a better choice! Mate if this day gets any worse i think i'll crack. I've sorted the title I've never had this on any other car, the sound is far too raspy. I think they have to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 i quite liked the rasp. to be honest when i got the silenced decats they didnt make much of a difference to the unsilenced ones. cant believe thats what they charged you. Did they take the engine out to do it? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they take the engine out to do it? :lol: After speaking with them they have just offered me a £92 refund!, which in my book goes a long way. They didn't have to as the labour price is the labour price, it's down to me to make the decision wether to have it done or not. So that has at least gone towards me feeling not so bad about the whole day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Chalk it up to experience, at least you didn't spend £800 on an exhaust on a whim without checking with anyone on the forum, then fit it an realise it is one of the loudest you can get 3 months later I spent another £800 on a quieter one, sold the old one and my ears thanked me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 i remember when i got my japspeed k1, when i fired up the engine for the first time there was instant regret, all the excitement just drained from me as i thought it sounded awful. luckily after 6 weeks the k1 snapped in two at the middle silencer so after a few months of pestering japspeed i finally got my money back luckily enough and bought a cobra and never looked back. Safe to say ill not be buying japspeed again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 *Puts on flame suit* I enjoyed my K1. Bungs out all the way, never had a problem with it either but saying that I can't remember how long it was actually on for lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
