Is my saxsport exhaust system correct?

23rd August 2011, 18:36

I ordered a saxsport exhaust system the other day after doin a bit of reading it it appeared to be highly rated and lots of people had them. Anyways i ordered:
2) Centre Pipe with Dummy Cat (decat), ROAD Backbox with 3" rolled in tailpipe. but when it turnt up today whilst i was at work i opened it to see no downpipe to replace the cat? i was under the impression it was centre pipe and a dummy decat with backbox? Reading it again i thought you could argue the dummy cat is there but thats technically a midbox not a cat?

Long boring story short lol, is my order wrong or have a misread? I want it to be quite loud and raspy when i fit saturday and no cat = noiiise as we know lol

.

cheers in advance to any answers

If your cat is in the manifold downpipe thats why, later spec 106s and saxos need an aftermarket manifold ideally to decat

The exhaust should be right..
Migh want to put up pictures just incase!

the system you have bought will only decat the MK1 saxo as its cat is under the car, as you have a mk2 like me you will need a 4 branch manifold to decat the car

Ahhh that'd make sense lol, i have a mk2 saxo and the cat is basically in the manifold lol, just an excuse for me to go and buy a 4-2-1 now though i guess lol

thanks mate

think they should be a little clearer on the dummy cat(decat) part can be misleading, long as its loud n raspy i dont care for now lol

it wont be as loud and raspy as your expecting i dont think, but when you get the 4 branch mani on there it will sound awsome no doubt

ok cool

any particular 4branch i should be lookin to get?

its personal preference really mate. when i get my new supersprint system im guna get either a supersprint manifold to go with it or a janspeed one.

raceland do a stainless 4-1 for the mk 2 saxo now, its about 200 quid from kam racing but its good cause you dont have to move the oil filter to the mk 1 set up like you do with a lot of 4 branch manifolds.

if you dont want to have to move the oil filter then im pretty sure any 4-1 manifold will fit and also the supersprint 4-2-1 is the only 4-2-1 that will fit i think.

obviously aslong as its an 8Valve manifold haha.

ok mate, cheers for the advice

The sportex 4-2-1 for the mk2 fits also, its best to heatwrap it as it does sit close...you also need to be good at adapting things as I hear some are a shit fit....mine was okay just needed a bit of modding to the sealing ring to the centre section.
