scotty435 1,049 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Can anyone confirm if the deletion of the 3rd cat on a NA Evora worth the effort and where is the best place to get the replacement pipe ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Del Lardo 100 Posted February 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 By all accounts it does make a difference as it removes some unneeded restriction but I did mine same time as backbox so hard to quantify. I think I have one knocking around in the garage if the new owner doesn't want it. Yours for postage cost and a few £ in a charity tin of your choice if you want me to check? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Registered 8 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yes worth doing at its relatively cheap price. Just don't expect night and day improvement in sound. The exhaust note will improve by approx 20%. It also saves a little weight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyj007 407 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 ive just done mine this weekend... i have the sport back box already.. noticeable difference (better) if i didnt have the sports back box already i woud have got the tubular back box with the decat pipe in place , that sounds really good. (Although £800) this still keepe the the front two decat pipes.. i heard this on @m6arks car at the weekend.. it straight forward enough but i had to grind off 4 diffuser bolts due to the hex heads rounding off.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
electro_boy 212 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'd say 3rd cat deletion is worth it. I've been to a couple meet ups and my Evora seemed to sound a bit louder and have more crackles in the overrun than some other cars. As far as I was aware I had the standard sports exhaust on my car but found out on the weekend when I had my diffuser off that the cat was missing and replaced with a straight pipe. I guess this is the reason my car sounds different to other NA cars? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Del Lardo 100 Posted April 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 As a few people have messaged me, Scott did take the Decat, my garage is slightly emptier and a charity has received a generous donation. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LotusFella 112 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi all what are the options for a decat. I have 2010 S. I know 2ubular do one. Anyone else and how have the performed? Thx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
electro_boy 212 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 3rd cat delete, is literally replacing the CAT converter with a section of pipe with some flanges. If 2bular don’t have one then I’d just try any local exhaust place. It’s not rocket science and any exhaust fabricator should be able to make that up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EGTE 145 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I find my 2bular a little TOO loud, to be honest. Thinking of going back to standard (Sports exhaust) Must be getting old Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post EuropaSman 59 Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I just had a 2bular decat pipe fitted to my Launch Edition yesterday by PJS Lotus. As the Lotus Stage 1 backbox had to come off for a support rod weld repair, I had the third cat removed. I definitely think it was well worth the £170. 3 Quote Lover of everything Lotus Cars and proud owner of production Evora No.75 (2nd UK customer specced car by VIN).

Barrykearley 6,867 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 This thread has prompted me to consider doing mine. It’s already had the Intake kit on it - so I’ve just got the torch out and had a peek underneath the tray - 3rd cat delete pipe already present 1 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
ramjet 1,087 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I've got two cats that I want to delete........ Oh wait. Wrong topic. That comment should be in the Caturday topic.
