Paul,
I was quoted £369 inc VAT and fitting for a full system plus £69 for a decat pipe. Phoned to confirm price of a decat pipe on its own and was told they'd do it for £69! Bearing in mind my system is in good shape, my dilemna is :
Option 1 : A cheap decat only "pipe"? from www.exhaustuk.co.uk
Option 2 : Janspeed - decat + adaptor £158.41 +vat + fitting
Option 3 : Other Janspeed developed options - About £195 + vat + fitting
Option 4: Anything else you'd like to suggest
I'm also trying to consider the implications when I come to eventually replace the back box, which ever decat option I choose. Aaaargh....the more I learn, the less I know ! Further complicated by the fact that the standard S.2's seemed to do as wel at least at Dyno day as those with various mods(chip, decat, exhaust, filter, Optimax) whatever. A chap on Titanic says he got 195 bhp at the wheels at Janspeed +15 bhp with their decat/exhaust - all dynos seem to vary me thinks[
]
So the bottom line seems to be that a decat should improve performance by around 10-12 bhp and fuel consumption. Several sources have said that the rear box provides relatively little resistance and its the removal of the cat that is largely responsible for any power gain ( plus a chip upgrade of course), but that's yet another elemnt in the equation. Also any money I "save" on this decision can immediately be put towards on the next thing on the 'wish' or 'need to do' list....headlight upgrade, tyres, replace original shockers.......you know how it is
I'll ask the question on the 968 forum,would be interested to hear from anybody who has had a system from www.exhaustuk.co.uk fitted.
