Does anyone know where i can get a De-Cat for a 1994 1.2 8v Corsa B, the problem is its a 5 Door.

Any help would be great.

www.motechdirect.co.uk IIRC.

Dont mean to be offensive but your car is a 1.2, for the benefits your going to get from adding a decat pipe the stress and time it will take to remove before MOT also if you get a random road side check.

It is true, I have one on mine and tbh I wouldn't say it has any noticable gains from it and mine's a 1.6.

Did you mean hasnt there Lee

My punctuation or the fact I have no noticable gains?

I did actually see something, will try find link tomorrow, that said a de cat gave a 1bhp gain over a sports cat. Although sports cat are quite dear I think?

 

[Lee]

I must point out though that in the year I have had the car, I probably drove it for a week without the de-cat on so maybe I just don't notice it.
I know 100% it isn't worth it on a 1.2 though.

I dont know to much about engines, but dont 1.2s need the back pressure?

yes, with a decat you will have next to no back pressure what so ever, especially if you have no middle silencer.
so your car will use petoral like its going out of fashion, and you might find it even slows it down as a result of losing back pressure.

The fact that you have not noitced any gains from de-cating it

With my old backbox , it was a large oval and i had the middle section that got rid of the middle silencer and the backbox was losin back pressure for me so i had to buy a 3.5'' slash cut now its fine can tell i gained from it .

Cheers for all your views i was just looking to see how much one cost, to see if i could really be bothered with all of the work to attach and detach ever time i get my car MOTed.

I wasn't really looking for performance through getting a de-cat, being a 1.2 there isnt a great deal you can do to it to get more power out of the engine without getting serious engine work done, and god knows i cant afford that.
