Hi im getting a new exhaust next week but haven't yet purchased it. I've found a few I like the look of but have noticed one the ones I like look of is a cat delete system. What are the pros and cons of these would anybody bother with them considering the hassle to mot them.

http://fordfiestast.co.uk/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/240669/site_id/1#import according to this it is a small difference. But if it would be a hassle for you to change before MOT it is best with sportscat I reckon. I have a milltek system with sportscat and is well pleased. only thing I have to do before MOT is to change back to original map. When I have the Pumaspeed 180 map the car fails on the MOT. So it is to high emissions.

Okay mate thank you for that I've found an exhaust system with high flow cat 200 cell so that do the trick not had mine mapped as of yet but is on the list for the new year after exhaust and upgraded brakes are done in January

Mine passes borderline after a few attempts with 200 cell, doesn't help that my MOT is in the middle of winter and I've had to defrost the car before taking it in on a few occasions.

Oh okay mines in march so not warmest time of year but would hope won't need to defrost before think that's the one I'm going with now will order next week looni g forward to getting a few more mods done this year getting car where I want it. Would like to try and hit 180bhp in 2019

sports cat every time

This one I'm thinking of getting anybody know of any issues I'd have?

isn't that very cheap for both back box and sportscat? Seems like there is normally almost 300 £ for just a sportscat. Maybe others have experience with Toyosport?

My exhaust bushes was kind of sloppy after a while so changed them into focus rs mk2 ones. Then the exhaust is not so loose anymore.

I got a milltek manifold on mine also. think the exhaust manifold is the most restrictive part of the original exhaust. But then it would be quite more expensive and harder to fit.

Yeah I did wonder about the price of it. I've never used a toyosport exhaust on any other vehicle I've had. I usually get them custom made from a local place to me but was looking into cheaper ones.I'm thinking about doing manifold later on in the year but short term wanted mainly a different note to what the original provides

There shouldn't be that weird bend after the cat that is shown in the picture of the toyosport one. I had to go custom for mine as I have different brands of manifold and cat back, it was £190 for the cat part and then labour on top.

My 200 cell passed the MOT first time no problem this week, I made sure I used cataclean this time and went for a good run to get it hot before the MOT, that might be why I had problems before.

Oh I see proba my wise to give it a miss then go for a different one but go sports cat and pay bit more to be sure its decent. Great news about your mot where do you get caraclean from. That's good idea going for a run before mot mines due march so thik I'll do same for mine

Yeah I only use mine for short runs which doesn't help either. Glad it passed as I didn't like having to back for re-tests on emissions and worrying about it not getting through. You can get cataclean from Halfords but it's cheaper online - EuroCarParts, Amazon or eBay for about £11

Okay I'll order some in advance of the mot from amazon or something then pay bit less. Not horribly priced anyway mind. I don't use mine overly often either so don't want the same issues at mot I'm a worrier anyway so having to book a retest etc will stress me right out

Update on the exhaust the Mrs ordered me the toyosport exhaust as a surprise with the sports cat. Have to be honest went on easy and really happy with the sound it produces. I'd say would be too loud for some but the note it produces in the higher revs is awesome.

nice one enjoy

Decent saving over the big name exhausts, what's the sound like, raspy, bassy?

Yeah is a great saving as I'm happy with the noise. As long as lasts is worth while. I'd say its a low toned raspy noise. It sounds angry and when in higher revs its certainly more raspy than bassy

As soon as its uploaded I'll post a link to my photo bucket of a video of the car being revved on my drive. Phone recording never really does it justice but should give you an idea

Photobuckey doesn't want to work here we are Instead https://youtu.be/TeOUCLR17oI

Sounds nice, very raspy I would say, not too different to a milltek.
Yeah videos never give you the full idea of the sound, but that does sound fairly loud!

I just put a resonator on mine last month to make it a bit quieter, had a non resonated milltek for past few years.

Thanks buddy. Yeah is a loud one which typically is most annoying at 70 down the motorway gives my ears a bashing how much does a resonator quiet it down? I may end up doing the same. I want it louder than stock but don't want to get out with earache after a long trip

Oh dear, that sounds annoying. Resonator takes the edge off a bit and makes it slightly more refined, though it's still loud compared to standard. Luckily I don't use the motorway that much. Sometimes you can find a speed where it will get quiet(er), but might be well above 70.

Sounds like that's the route for me to take next then as I live in a small village and to get anywhere it's on a motorway and my options are 65mph or about 5000rpm in 5th would be my guess can imagine that's gonna be daft speed. Dou g that in 4th would just drink more juice stress the engine out. I'm still happy with purchase and would recommend to anybody living in a city not to much motorway miles.

Sounds cool.

Thank you mate

Hi Devon how are you getting on with the toyo?

I've had greif with mine. the tailpipe sits deep into rear valance and it has come loose a couple of times at rear join. after about 2 months the sports cat does nothing. my post cat lambda follows the pre cat one so they seem like a total waste. i now need a new cat for this years MOT.

Hi buddy so far so good passed the mot no issues last week although I don't like how far it sits back from the rear bumper. Love the sound but can also hear a little rattle on tick over that ifi lift the revs to just over 1000 it goes so what that be loose lamps? Annoying though. Overall if say for the money been good not great but good

just bought a new sports cat for mine. apparently not getting it remapped when fitted is what has killed the cat. they should tell people that.
