DE CAT PIPE FOR A VR6 worth it?

ok so if you are running one where did you get it from and are they worth it ??

i think the best ones available were the super sprint ones as they were silenced. The straight pipe type decats tend to make the exhaust sound really raspy and the exhaust note will be louder. Depends what you like but i had a straight pipe decat fitted and it got on my nerves after a day.

I have a raceland straight through pipe on mine and it sounds absolutely spot on, no rasp or resonance of any kind just amplifies the engine note by about 10%, good result on the rollers too.

 

Only reason Cats are on this planet are for environmental reasons not performance...I am not a tree and if I cared about carbon emissions I wouldn't drive a 16 year old V6, get rid!

Question, if I fitted one, would I have to change it back for the MOT ?

 

Or would it be worth just getting a sports CAT ?

It's not so much the cat that's the problem for the mot but your emissions, as we all know though it depends if the tester will take a drink to turn a blind eye.

 

Sports cats are silly money, if you want to go that route I'd be more inclined to get a QTP exhaust cut out and weld it before the cat, not everyone's cup of tea but they float my boat 8)
