can n e tell me were i can get a de cat pipe from for a 1.2 16v corsa ecotech engine the one on ebay for the 16v dont look the same thanxs

no one does them off the shelf as the cat on the 1.2 16v is bolted directly to the mainifold. unlike the 14/16 16v what sits between the downpipe/flexy joint and the centre box

just been onto my local powerflow and they wont touch de cat tryed exhaust a fix and there gunna charge 310 just a bit ova the top n e 1 know of n e wer that dose exhaust in the north east then

Just cut the cat out and weld a pipe in place where the cat was! If you dont have a welder you can get it done at a local garage for about 10 pounds. But dont forget about the mot.

cheapest way is to do what marky said. i would go down the scrappy and buy a cat and then cut it out and weld a peice of tube in its place.

Thats what i did on my brothers focus cost him like 3 pound for a new bit of pipe but we didn\'t weld it on! The pipe he got was a bit bigger than the one on the car but i cut two slits down both sides of the new pipe and got two clamps. But that day wasn\'t good cos when i was grinding the cat off the grinder ripped out of my hand then it dropped on my wrist leaving me with an inch cut!

that sounds nasty.............. kids dont try a de-cat at home lol

It hurt like hell!

i bet it did.

did it make much difference to the performance?

Yes on the top end but i am putting that down to the flow of gases as the cat will limit flow down the exhaust and the sound was more crisp but he has got a scorpion back box aswell sounds really nice!

make your own pipebender is all u need or a something to bend it perfect with we got 1 at work gonna make one for mine

Yea i got a pipe bender at home got it off ebay for like 70 pound i think i plan to do a custom exhaust all the way from the manifold back!

Well do you no that smooth scuttle panel i ordered off that guy on ebay it come about 2 weeks ago and i told him i was not happy with it and i told him to send me another one out and he sent me an email and said he would give me a refund and i could keep the panel so i was happy saved me 45 pound.

jesus what was wrong with it bargain?

It didn\'t fit right good at the edges so i sent him a nasty email.
