Rtech Pre Cat Delete
« on: March 15, 2016, 12:28:30 am »
hi guys

not sure if this is the right place - i wanted to get my precat delete done..ive read in a few places that rtech can do it for me? is this correct? if so anyone have any idea how much it is?

or is this something i can go to an exhaust place and just get them to knock it out?

thanks

Any garage physically CAN do it for you - R-Tech probably won't as they just do the mapping side of things.

I didn't realise you wanted to get this done Shoayb. You still thinking about the BCS system?

@rashg60 not sure yet..maybe when funds are available. Currently the pending arrival of the newborn is taking priority!

@GrayMK5GTI thanks - rtech actually emailed me back after I put this post up and said the same thing!  :happy2:

I thought Rtech suggest doing the pre cat delete even for a stage 1?
When I spoke Dynodaze they said until they see the car they wouldn't commit to costings. Could be 1-4 hrs job they say....
Alex at AKS has quoted £100.

Gains simply aren't worth £100. Its the sort of job you would do yourself for free and it be worth it for an hour or so of your time, but as Rich said - extra £100 gets you a decat, then you can have Stage 2 mapping which will result in a much more worthwhile gain

@Lewo i spoke to dynodaze and he said the same cost depending on how its fitted to the car but starting cost is £125 and could rise.

@white91 @Dan_FR no idea how to do it myself otherwise i would..have seen a how to online but i don't think i have the technical know how to get it without breaking some sort of a sensor.. might have to follow what @rich83 said and hunt a decat downpipe instead (which I'm assuming will fit fine to stock?)

It's only a few bolts, I struggled on axle stands, but with ramp it's easy. I'd try some local exhaust places first

I'm based in Leicester @Dan_77 I'll be getting it up on a ramp next weekend hopefully. Just hope I don't damage any sensors or anything of the like.

Just take your time mate , its straight forward enough, the only tricky bit is the bolts holding the downpipe on as there awkward to get to and space is limited, I unclipped the wire on the top sensor and removed it once the downpipe was off as its a lot easier to do that way
