Add your name to the list if your on the hunt for a BB or cat. I will then get a price, depending on numbers.

I may be interested if price is good. I'm gonna wait and see/hear AlexGTT's car next month at Castle Combe before deciding - cat back system, probably unresonated...:drool:

Goes for me too, would like to try before I buy. Whens Castle Combe, may swing by.

i f mine ever turns up , I will be about too ...
But slight change of plan , I should be having now:
Race BB (Supersprint) , miltek cat , resonated front .. should be just enough noise to sound more throaty , but not lose the induction noise ... hopefully he says !!:whistle:

Induction would be my main concern.
Would be good to hear it. What gains you expecting / hoping?

A reply from a supplier I asked about the SS decats today.
I’m having a few problems with these right now as Eurostyling the SS importer was owned by GPR that went into administration before xmas! If you can give me a few days then revised prices etc will be on the site

Have you round someone to map round the issues with decats then?
s.mac
16-03-2009, 10:15 PM
There are no issues contrary to what people say. Yes the emissions light comes on but it did when I had 100 cell cats (intermittently) It can be mapped out but i will see how it goes. A guy I know has put de cats on with no issues, the light didn't even come on, he had mapped his car previously so the parameters may have been changed before the decats went on.
The sound is just what I looking for with summer coming :drool:
had the 100 cell cats with x pipe and rear SS light weight box so it will be standard rear box with decats to start, then may be SS X pipe with resonator. Not sure on the last one yet ?

Chalkie over on MTorque (or BM3W as it was) kept having his car go into limp home mode every 50km or so with decats on, that was 4 or 5 years back, haven't heard of anyone running them ok since then on an NA engine though.
How much extra torque and power? Couldn't care less about noise, infact extra noise just makes it a pain in the arse to get on track.

I'm probably gonna change to a full SS system from cat back, but with un-resonated mid pipe and lightweight race box.
I miss the rasp that is now gone with the Miltek, and as i don't use the car as much as a daily drive, i don't mind if the SS system is a little more 'fruity'! :supz:

no figures anywhere I've looked, so not sure, IMO any gains wont be that noticeable when the cars are that well tuned to start with

noise level will be fine with the standard box on, would be over the required db with full system

the rasp won't come back with the above system, that's why Im going with the decat and standard box ;)

I thought it was the mid-section that causes the rasp? I know the resonated SS pipe doesn't rasp but was under the impression that the un-resonated pipe would rasp?

As far as I know,from my experience, bits on bits off and others I know from doing the same, its the back box that is raspy. I had Standard system with SS lightweight box and the rasp went or may be I couldn't hear it over the sound and drone of the back box. Then X pipe un silenced with SS backbox, normal cats and no rasp. Full SS system with 100 cell cats and no rasp, loud, very loud. Back to standard box with x pipe and 100 cells cats, rasp was back. A friend was running full system including SS de cat and also wanted the rasp and couldnt live with the noise levels, so now has de cat, x pipe unsilenced and standard box, rasp is back.
I sold my full system to a friend who put it on his CSL and loved it for a month then neither he or his neighbours could live with it :hahaha:
I am going for the de cat and will see how it is for me. Its all part of the fun, buy it and try it, you have to try these things so you know yourself.....
if that makes sense

The only downside to the standard rear box is how heavy the bloody thing is....
I have the full Milltek system inc Race cats (thanks Glendog!) and i love the sound, it booms a bit under 3000rpm but it's bearable

It's certainly very nice mate - i like it. AlexGTT kindly took me out in his - cheers Alex :thumbs:
Inside, it was hard to tell through a helmet but it is similar in noise to my Miltek at lower revs with similar drone levels. Higher revs do have a slightly more distinct 'growl' as you increase speed.
TBH, it's more outside the car that i noticed any noticeable difference. Alex has the silenced mid section which does take some of the rasp away.
I'm tempted to get the Lightweight SS Racing back-box and try it with the Miltek centre section. Failing that fit an OEM centre again i think to get the rasp back :whistle:

I fitted an OEM Mid pipe again after trying the unsilenced SS for a while but it was too boomy in the cabin, like REALLY boomy! I like the Rasp that I've got back.
A mate of mine just fitted a Milltek Centre pipe with a Borla back box and has lost the rasp completely, :bigcry:
I do fancy the Cats one day though. :supz:

What centre pipe are you running now Baz? I'm full Miltek and have very little rasp... :smt012
Regarding the cats - now that really is BOOM TASTIC! Just a warning...! :hahaha:

Standard Mid pipe again now, loving the Rasp especially on cold mornings which are very regular in Scotland. Each to their own though, I know some people think the rasp make the car sound cheap, but personally I think you recognise an M3 from others because of the rasp.
Oh, do the Cats make it boomy do they? Hmmmm, will need to keep that in mind when I have some extra pennies knocking about! (Like thats going to happen soon!!!)
