Anyone used any of the above, will i have any ecu probs with the decat? It says it has a hole for the 02 sensor.

Also anyone used the short shifter, i fitted a 15 quid eBay short shifter to my last car and it was awesome, really reduced throw.

Cheers, Dom

Theres just been a huge thread on here about the IS200 manifold the same seller was flogging, and unfortuantly they didnt fit.

I was under the impression the centre cat sections vary with years so i cant see how he can offer a "one size fits all" centre section, but people are yet to try it.

As for the short shifter, i really dont see why it wouldnt fit perfectly (i have a B&m one) but its how smooth it is when fitted.

Cheers Stav.

His returns policy seems fair enough, so if it doesn't fit, he can have it back!

I can reassure you on their return policy; I was involved in the manifold issue and got fully refunded to my complete satisfaction, so I'd say shop withouth worries.

The hole for O2 sensor it's after the main cat

Ay but if you dont use it it should have a bung fitted when it arrives.

Also its perfect if you wanted to install a wideband O2 sensor,

What year car was the Decat fitted to ?

How is the shortshifter ? Did you take any photos when fitting it ?

They are good place to buy from as they will take back anything that dont fit as it should, i have got bits of them in the past, :D top items at a very good price i would say......

^ you'll need a O2 Simulator if you remove the main cat.

You have PM

you can use the original 02 sensor.make a spacer long enough so that when you screw it back in it is flush with the inside of the exhaust.i have done this with mine and runs perfect even with the manifold cats removed. another thought on this is maybe put sleave of somekind over the sensor so that it cant get the full flow of the gasses.

Thats another way, you can use "spark plug spacers" i think they're called.

I used an O2 sensor cause i've replaced it with a wideband sensor.

there are two types of zorst (cat section)on the IS200 pre May 2000 and post May 2000 same applies to brake lines
