Hi guys,

finnally got my sport cat fitted, along with my new wastegate and bypass pipe, here is the youtube link to my "after" sound.

you can listen to the before sound if you look for my other videos. Sorry the picture quality is so poor, just taken clip but it's the sound that's important.

stu.p came over on a working holiday and did the business with all the fitting. For my part I made tea and fetched tools and parts on demand.

The difference is emmence and I love it. Sounds a lot throatier and free reving than ever. A good road test prooved it was all worth it.

On to the next mod then!!!

Cheers
Steve

Good stuff Steve - sounds great. With all that popping on the overrun you'll get Mark (911addict) all excited!
Cheers,

Tim.

he can't get any worse than me surely. I'm stoked as they say. It's way better than I hoped for and looks great in place, although you'll only ever see it on some ramps. here's a few images of the work as we (I say we, as in the royal we) progressed.

ok I know I need some new tin wear, that comes with a future rebuild and efi (long way off I hope)

Nice sound, is that with or without the original muffler?
I love those pops and bangs.
Is this the good quality fake Tial wastegate from ssautochrome that you have there??

biglicks

that's with a G pipe, so no original muffler. It is indeed the ssautochrome wastegate fitted with a 0.9bar Tial spring. Being honest the clip doesn't do the new sound any justice. I'll take another from a different angle tonight and post that as well.

It does quite sounds like mine, though I still have my cat on, I replaced the muffler with a G pipe ! I de-cat once, with muffler, turbo seems respond smoother but I can take the smell.

Sounds good, nice amount of pops on the over-run. I especially like the sound of the birds tweeting at the start, must be early morning?
I'll bet your neighbours love you!

PS: Is this the Scart sports cat?

biglicks

strangley it was early evening. I'd like to claim I was being arty with the bird tweets, alas that's country life in France for you. No idea what the neighbours think yet, as I do get up early. I am taking it to work today so will get a chance to have an open road run with it. Fingers crossed.

No I bought this from design911, although they did sell Scart they now do their own branded version, designtek. This may well be made by Scart for them. The quality of the workmanship welding etc was very high.

just got to work after a 25km drive. Wow what a differnece, boosts seams to kick in a little sooner, 250-500 rpms less. The sound is excellent and the acceleration got me thinking I had a new car. Large grin no in place.

Same with me Steve, it is really a big difference.
The sportscat does seem to work well with the G-Pipe without being too loud.
My decat - stockmuffler combo is not loud at all
And the pops and bangs are swallowed by the huge muffler.
Maybe I will go the same route, sportscat - G-pipe, sound a lot better in my opinion.

biglicks

let me know if you want any of the info on the kit I bought. The price was very good especially when you see the quality and results.

btw, where did you get the sportcat ?

biglicks

here you go, good exchange rates for us in euroland with the UK sterling being weak.
