Installing a DECAT on the Golf GTI!

[@TRHamza]

Thought we’d experiment before my exhaust gets here. Plenty of mod videos coming up now, all the bits are coming in.

[@princesssolace4337]

That is a mature sounding car😉

[@minhajuddin6607]

TR Hamza how you gonna get mot

[@kenrossaukrsa]

Which engine code does your Gti have ? There are 2 different engines for the Mk 5 Gti, ie 2 different engine codes Bwa and Axx .. Bwa is 162kw but Vw left it at 147kw in 2006 on, not to disgruntle Axx engine code owners - as they were the first lot of Mk5 Gti’s from 2005

[@justinchisholmrsa]

Still no videos man? we're anxiously waiting lol

[@jakewilde6302]

On the link for the downpipe it says middle section needs to be cut out with hacksaw. Did you have to cut anything out

[@a24z78]

I understand nothing about cars but still enjoy these vids lol

[@user-nw6zi5iq5x]

I’m 19 I bought myself a golf to work on because of your vids😂

[@TRHamza]

It’s all getting replaced soon

[@S21Joker]

TR Hamza looking forward towards the rest of the build pal👍🏻

[@davonpointer2310]

Liking the exhaust, not too loud, or quiet, easy to live with!

[@daanishwaseem7726]

Get the the R32 style exhaust (two pipes at the back) And install lowered springs in the rear . The rear end of the car seems to be sitting too high. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@jaaackwebber6337]

Glad you just done this, I've just got mine in the post and was worried would be to loud, glad to see it's easy to fit too

[@TRHamza]

Yeah just needed a slight wack with the hammer on the rear section to get the mid pipe in, but I reckon it’s because mines been welded in the past and isn’t quite the original length

[@suvvx900]

Nice video, I've got the eBay downpipe with sports cat on mine, can't fault the quality but best to use an OEM gasket when fitting. Get the powerflex dogbone mount on too as this helps with fatigue on the flexi pipe.

[@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount]

The middle box man... go straight pipe all the way through.

[@HIXNN]

Get a res-delete it sounds sweet!

[@hamzarehman797]

Turborevs downpipe 🤷‍♂️ jus a resonator delete and that’s it car will sound a lot louder👌🏻 awesome stuff man keep em coming 👍

Big ratings for bringing the car back to life. Looks sikk and can imagine once lowered will look wikkd. Reminds of when I was 17 and did little bits and bobs to my polo but nowadays u don’t get to do much with new cars these days

I had a down pipe with cat-delete with OEM back box and resonator. OEM KO4@1.2bar with factory tune ECU since 2012 and no engine check light ever came up.

I love these vids, currently considering a Clio 197 for a track car so this is definitely giving me the itch.

[@TRHamza]

Thank you, yeah Clio 197’s are cool. I remember wanting one a few years back, look like good fun.

[@MissyTames]

my cat has snapped. was this easy enough to do for a home mechanic and a set of Axel stands, obviously a ramp would be easier but tight on money. thanks

U got a link to this down pipe mate just got myself a standard gti in same colour looks good for the price 👍

[@Head-the-ball]

Nice work!! Should have put a lambda spacer on to try, fault will come on 30-60 miles down the road. Is that rear washer motor coming out, hope so, blank it off.

[@abestech7190]

I would want my GTI to sound like that. I’ve been looking at them not for my first car tho I’ll be my second car after 1 year ahaha. When it comes to sound this most definitely is it not too annoying in your face yet sleek subtle

[@DanialA11]

Great video, you could have possibly avoided the EML light by using an Ebay lambda sensor spacer.

[@funkmasterjay]

That's reason for another video with new content. These youtubers sometimes need to prolong their content.

[@kenrossaukrsa]

This down pipe in the vid had a spacer / mini cat welded in

[@Jacklang22]

I’m well impressed with the quality of that pipe! Any chance of a link?

Hey man. I want to do this to my car but reason why not sure . 1. Is it not illegal ? And carry’s a heavy fine 2. How will it pass mot will it need to me taken off as the old one back etc every mot ? There my reasons ?? Love the mk 5 vids that’s when I saw and sub to you man :)

[@darrenevans1852]

It is illegal and will not pass an mot. Pigs are pulling people over and checking this where I am

[@tractor453]

Darren Evans where are you too ?

[@TRHamza]

Hey man, decats are usually classed as ‘for track use’ and won’t pass an MOT. You’ll have to put factory downpipe back in to pass. And thank you for sub 👌🏼

[@darrenevans1852]

Bradford. As he said you'll have to pipe up before mot. Not worth it if u do get pulled as you lose the car on the spot

[@TRHamza]

Will look into it 👌🏼

[@phazi0]

@@sinissster9657 It's hard to explain it but it makes your whole car feel tighter. Also, in my case, it felt like I had my dsg updated because the shifts are more 'on point' now. And the wheel hop is gone. Yes, the car vibrates slightly more on certain rpms but nothing you'd notice if you didn't know that the insert was mounted. It's easy to remove too if it's not in your liking. I use the yellow Powerflex one

And say goodbye to the turbo. The ea113 engines dont cope with overrun very well, unless you can control it and use it sparingly.

[@rolandb1939]

Do you have oil consumption issues? These engines are known for drinking oil, i wonder how much oil your car "burns" and what did you do to reduce the consumption if you had any.

Haven’t done enough miles in my ownership to report any issues. It’s due a service after that I’ll monitor it

Hold the revs up right through the emission test, or..... You get a tester you know just to pass it as ok

@Bercilak de hautdesert its an illegal modification, so naturally you wouldn't declare this to them. Having fraudulently made the car pass the emissions test, Me old chum MOT tester will state catalytic converter was present at time of test. As for killing someone? Not sure what you mean.
