Saw this deal from Osprey Performance on IG, seems like a deal.


Sports cat downpipe supplied and fitted for free plus £100 cash back for trade against your OEM downpipe.

Deal valid in Feb.

If anyone is looking to go stage 2 on their B58.

Sorry misread it.
Yeah that's not a bad deal. Does anyone know if they are any good?

Aha.

How much does an OEM downpipe sell for ?


Not had any experience with them, I believe it's a 200 cell sports Cat

I misread it, I thought it was just fitting and £100 back. Didn't realise the down pipe was also included.
That's a fair deal tbf. On their site it's £450 for the down pipe and £50 fitting, so they are valuing the oem down pipe at £600 which is about right for them to make a little money on it too.

Oem downpipe sells for £630-680 to cat merchants.

would suggest keeping the old one when time comes to sell the car you can pop it back on

These 200 cel cats will fail an mot unless brought up to temp (ie thrashing) before testing.

If only they do for a b48. I guess they will have to remap to stop error codes. So thats extra money if you have to pay for a map. Might not be value. Also when you keep your old cat, you have the option to revert back if the new one fails etc

I've had this 200 cel on for 2 MOT's now and each one it's got through fine. First one the car was stone cold - had been sat for 4 hours and it got through. Second time round it was HOT as I thought it was going to fail.

The car has ran agressive pops and bangs, upgraded turbo and a good chunk of power so it's had a hard life.
