S2 Exige....
I was thinking de-cat but already have a Stage 2 and a Pipercross and don't want it massively loud... Anyone got experience of the 3 together? JJ?
I looked at Larini sports cat but for £450 it looked pricey and I'm not sure how good it would sound compared to standard.
What about http://www.elise-shop.com/index.php?mai ... cts_id=414 I'm guessing this will be louder than standard but not too loud?
De-Cat or Sports Cat
Re: De-Cat or Sports Cat
I had no problems on mine but most folk have MIL issues.
I had it on with the 2bular and it sounded nice, I would think with the stage2 it would sound a bit droney and not that nice, so unless you were buying a new exhaust I would leave it.
I wouldnt do it again if I had a toyota car its not worth the hassle, put it that way!

Re: De-Cat or Sports Cat
I took the CAT off my K series Elises for two reasons.
1) Weight
2) There was speculation that after three or more upgraded cars, 180hp+, went up in flames, that the cause was a possible flash back that overheated the CAT.
However there are reasons against it.
1) It is illegal if a CAT was factory fitted on the car.
2) Carbon emission factor.
3) Fumes to the cars running behind you, which is one of Robins bête noires.

I remember being in Jamie's Exige with Stage 2 and Pipercross and I thought my head was about to explode

Re: De-Cat or Sports Cat
Nah it is loud already but nothing compared to my Elise - and I miss the noise...
But I think JJ and Tut are right - there are a lot more cons than pros..
If the sports cat wouldn't effect the MIL then I'd buy it - but at that price its not a chance I want to take without knowing 100% it will be fine
