dave h Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 hi has anyone fitted a de-cat pipe to a mondeo 2.0 tdci, did it make much differance to power or ecconomy and which is the best to buy. thanks dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 There will be an improvement in both power and response from the throttle. not huge gains maybe 3 to 8 bhp and you get more turbo "whistle" when accelerating, can not say which is the best but make sure its a full bore pipe and not a restricted pipe as some are.

Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 does anyone know the rules on these? someone told me that you will still pass an mot with these as diesels are tested differently to petrol ? surely you need a cat?

stef123 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 thanks guys just wanted piece of mind. seen some on ebay they vary in price from 65 to 120 quid what do you look out for? it should just be a piece of pipe with a couple of flanges welded on either end or something to that affect. the price may be because some are just mild steel and others are stainless? i'd go for the stainless if you can.
