MTC downpipes

SteveChester · 11-25-2018, 04:15 PM

Hi I'm just about to buy some of these off eBay - anyone decent to install them in the NW?

flapper · 12-05-2018, 09:06 AM

You're probably sorted now, but AP Automotive, Shropshire based are worth a shout if you're struggling.

SteveChester · 12-05-2018, 02:28 PM

Yeah thanks got a contact via MTC Motorsport.

SteveChester · 12-09-2018, 09:44 AM

Had these fitted today - well worth it !!! Defo a much more noiser car now! Had them fitted for £120 by a contact from MTC Motorsport - guy called Christian got a garage in Bolton top top bloke did a great job really knew his stuff - you don't have to remove any of the strut brace in the engine bay etc as some of the YouTube videos suggest you can do it all from underneath the car.

Recommend replacing the bolts and gaskets as mine were quite rusty!!

I'm going to Stage 2 map it later on today and remove any CEL checks ( it hasn't thrown any engine management lights either - yet ).

£360 well spent I reckon!

His number is 07549 074524 and he has a Facebook page called "Tranztec"

Am I right in understanding that this has taken away the primary cats? Have you done the midpipe as well, which is where the secondary cats are?

SteveChester · 12-09-2018, 11:50 AM

Secondary cats retained.

SteveChester · 12-09-2018, 11:52 AM

Just the downpipes. Took him about 2 hours.

Nice crackles!
How come you went with downpipes rather than backbox change/mod? What's your plan come MOT time?

I did that because it was quite cheap and made a reasonable difference. Not sure what else I can do don't fancy spending 2k on an MPE.

The guy that fitted the down pipes also does MOTs

I've just picked up a PCW modified back box, so will see how that is in next few weeks.

SteveChester · 01-27-2019, 10:44 AM

Let me know what it's like? How much etc .

Smee · 01-27-2019, 02:52 PM

I didn't think the primary cats effect the MOT? Or have I been ill informed?
