Secondary cats removal
Re: Secondary cats removal
Interesting to know , anyone know how hard it is to remove the whole downpipe might get both cats removed as I imagine there primary is a huge bottle neck in flow a bit like on the 2.0 tfsi. might see if bcs will build a large downpipe kit for our cars

Re: Secondary cats removal
from what I hear the engine has to come out to do the primary cats
Re: Secondary cats removal
The sub-frame can be dropped to get to the downpipes.

Re: Secondary cats removal
How long does it take to fit downpipes then, if the subframe is dropped?
I'm deliberating between various models of exhaust from Germany for my RS6, and have found some 3" downpipes at reasonable cost on ebay.de.
Anyone know if there's any need or benefit to have a full 3" system, vs a 2.75" one? Even 2.75" is a combined diameter of 5.5" which seem more than enough for 750-800bhp. My GTR ran a 3.5" system at 680bhp, and was fine.
Thoughts?

Re: Secondary cats removal
3" downpipes is enough to max out the turbo's so should see you close to 800hp, however you will be limited on torque due to the gearbox, and if you then go down the route of re-inforcing the box you mays well uprate the turbo's etc which is when things spiral! my best advice for bang for buck is just go with a secondary cat delete and a nice 2.75"/3" cat back thatll see you as near as dammit (depending on engine health) 730-750bhp and around the torque limit of 1100nm.Ceveman73 wrote:How long does it take to fit downpipes then, if the subframe is dropped?

I debated going down the route of a full 3" and another remap to see 800/1100 but its an awful lot of money and effort for not a lot of increase in power. 50nm and 60ps... not worth the 3k+ cost for a full 3" and another map.
all up to yourself of course!

Re: Secondary cats removal
Good reply, thanks. So is there any difference in results from a custom 3" vs a 2.75" out-of-the-box system like the Milltek? Will they give the same gains at this power level? Off the shelf is a lot easier than going custom, but don't wanna mis on on extra power if there is some to be had by going bigger!

Re: Secondary cats removal
For bigger power cars (900+) they seem to be universally 3in. In fact I don't think there's any in the running 2.75in DP's at the minute (could be wrong).
With the German eBay downpipes make sure they actually deliver to the UK (even if it says "Europe" in the Ad) as the package is too long for Parcel Force who do the UK part of the delivery. This causes the seller massive issues, meaning most don't ship to the UK. I had this issue with KWE last year and ended up being refunded later on the same day I bought them.

Re: Secondary cats removal
nope sorry, went for a secondary cat delete and map all at the same time, oddly some ARB's got fitted also

Re: Secondary cats removal
WOW! thats mental!
Why did you go 3.5"? seems a bit big?
And as for off the shelf vs custom its all about the noise, with a custom 3" (2.75" is an odd expensive size) you can tune the noise to how you want with boxes/resonators etc.
Personally for the price of an off the shelf milltek i'd rather put that into a custom job from a good exhaust place.

Re: Secondary cats removal
my secondary decats have been on for a few days,sounds so much better now and no dash lights (stage 1 map only)
Re: Secondary cats removal
Which decats did you get? Did you fit them yourself? Don't suppose you got a fitted pic?marknjayne wrote:my secondary decats have been on for a few days,sounds so much better now and no dash lights (stage 1 map only)

Re: Secondary cats removal
Can anyone answer the question of, does fitting bypass pipes to remove the secondary cats put an engine light on? I've bought the same Supersprint bypass pipes and wondering whether to fit them or not. Will be a long time before the remap happens
