Seen an advert from Scoobyworld for a front down pipe that incoperates a sports cat. Was wondering if any one has had one fitted and what they think of it. They say it will pass a M.O.T.

Yes, I have one; they're excellent. Wasn't a restriction at my level of tune (320bhp on a Uk classic, with supporting mods, of course). The car will pass the MOT easily. STiX on here has one too and recently sailed past his MOT. At £299 they are also superb value for money.

Cheers for that matey. Like you say for that sort of money and no messing around replacing it for M.OT sorted. Shall be ordering one

I bought the ninja d/p over a month ago and waiting for a remap before getting it fitted. However, im having second thoughts in case it is significantly restrictive compared with a decat d/p. NS04 , u are definatly sure it wasnt restrictive? please reassure me the best u can so i dont regret buying it cos i hav recently found out my local mot station is quite friendly wen it comes to full decats. Im also hoping the ninja d/p is quieter than a decat d/p cos im likely to go for a blitz nur spec r.

Im interested in one due to MOT reasons and they are only supposed to be 2 bhp less than a decat pipe so I cant see how it would be much more restrictive.
Also does anyone know if you still get all the pops and bangs with a sports cat?

As Ns said above, mine flew through MOT on its own - top piece of kit.

On standard TD04 my MY00 produced 273/273 with this and Magnex cat-back

I don't get any pops and bangs though, but I don't know if I would with a decat downpipe either.

Hiya,

My My99 develops about 320bhp ft lbs torque with one, which is bang on for the mods I have, basically, uprated exhaust (2.5inch) fuel pump, turbo (VF35) ported headers, hoses. You might get 2-5 bhp more with a decat.

Mine also pops on the over-run especially in 2nd gear.

so will it fit a any exhaust system? and what do u expect to gain

Any 2.5" classic, although they are bringing them out for new age soon.

You'll gain some more horses as it isn't as restrictive as a normal cat.

Before mine was remapped it was producing 230bhp, so 15bhp gain with the Ninja Sports cat, JR panel filter and Magnex cat-back.

After Tek3 remap its now producing 273bhp/273lbft.
