losing power from fitting a decat...thats a first i think, which brand? maybe its fitted wrong, is it blowing anywhere?if not then its probably something else bringing the power down, whats the induction side of things like? when were spark plugs changed/oil/filters etc ________________________________________ *R.I.P Pete Sims* |

He may be referring to his mid-range punch, which is what normally decreases a small amount once a decat has been fitted. ________________________________________ Ex Owner of 2000 Phase 3 306 GTi 6 China Blue - You shall be missed1974 Triumph Stag 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Lusso 2005 Mondeo Ghia X 3.0 Estate LPG |

It feels ok with my Blueflame decat.  There is a stronger pull when you keep it on the cam. As for the induction side I am running a 76mm intake but the base of the K&N style cone 170mm and top of the filter 120mm, all housed inside a carbon airbox being feed with a 100mm cold air feed pipe. ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

high flow cats may give gains over standard but wont flow as well as a straight tube (de-cat) just a legal way to get the flow up a bit. |

I've seen good gains with my setup.Devil De-cat with a 200 cell motorsport cat (for a nissan 200sx) poped in and a Jetex stainless system with K&N 571 at the front. Gives the odd pop and crackle and made 179hp on the rolling road, up from 171hp.________________________________________ Team 330mm.Team Rallye. |
