Ebay Sports Cat 100cell.... Pics & Fitted
RedRobin:
.
Just be aware that the actual cat internal component (which you can't inspect without cutting into it) is a very expensive part of an exhaust system. What quality is the cat on a £240 exhaust system I wonder.

Yeah the garage used the clamp.
I was worried about it being too loud or getting vibrations (thats the reason I didn't go stage 2 while it was being fitted)... I wanted to try it out 1st, as these look pretty new on the market (with the sports cat). But everything is fine..... not too loud when driving 'normally' & a roar when you floor it!
I'll update this in a few weeks when my MOT is due. With a buy like this - only time will tell if it's a good one!
Ps what is the flexi joint?

Flexi joint is the part before cat, its supposed to flex :smiley: Please do update the MOT experiences after you get it done. Did you get a lot more power with this?
RedRobin:
^^^^
Without any ability to flex, some components have a greater risk of breaking. The 2.0T FSI engine with OEM engine mounts has a lot of movement and can also break aftermarket air intake mounts when attached to the side bracket.
You'll notice that exhaust systems are fitted on hangers which are flexible.

I received my catted ebay downpipe and took a couple of photos.
Heres the package, the v-clamp doesnt look too quality but hopefully it will do the trick. I might need to find some high temp sealant for the connection. Welds look pretty good, atleast better then my squat bench :smiley:
The 100 cell cat here. Looks like it will flow a lot better then stock, not sure if it will clean air :wink:
Its already rusted inside :happy2: But the flex joint _looks_ like its leak free.
