Shagged Cat

[jslootweg 0]

My cat has been making a horrible rattle inside for some time now, and i think its finally blowing which is ok at the moment, but i want to do something before it gets too loud.

Would the above de-cat pipe fit my car? In the picture it has mounting flange on both ends where my current cat only has one at the down pipe (with 3 bolts) and the back end of the cat is connected to the rest of the exhaust via a standard U-shaped bolt thingy.

I was under the impression that it is possible to pass the MOT if your fueling is setup right and have a working lambda?

I don't need an MOT, what do I need to do a de-cat?

i was told that even if the emissions past they won't pass it without actually seeing the cat.

 

thats what my local station told me, i just told myself they were jealous of my decat

LOL, i suppose it doesn't sounds that good. Look at it from the positive side, the thread has picked up lots of traffic because of it :)

Maybe i should just bit the bullet and buy a new cat. I'm in the process of buying a house so i didn't really want to spend much money. I suppose i could get a de-cat till the winter my MOT isn't due for ages. If I could get the de-cat mentioned earlier to fit then it wouldn't be that bad as it cost a lot less than a new cat!

I've heard the same, that even if it passes the emissions they need to see a cat fitted.

I like having no MOT.

you don't have a de-cat though, so aren't taking advantage, Island Boy ;)

I shall de-cat, as soon as I have some fundage. Doesn't a VR come with different length cats?

Annoyingly I've only got lo res shots bud.

 

 

That's all I've got at the moment. There's a set of 17's that were going on fleabay the other day. I never knew that they were magnesium centres. Not bad spec really (titanium bolts and magnesium centres..)
