jslootweg 0 Posted May 16, 2007 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. http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/prod ... 11&xSec=87 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.

jslootweg 0 Posted May 16, 2007 I was under the impression that it is possible to pass the MOT if your fueling is setup right and have a working lambda? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taggart 0 Posted May 16, 2007 I don't need an MOT, what do I need to do a de-cat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 16, 2007 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jslootweg 0 Posted May 16, 2007 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 :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jslootweg 0 Posted May 16, 2007 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!

Guest Posted May 16, 2007 I've heard the same, that even if it passes the emissions they need to see a cat fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taggart 0 Posted May 16, 2007 I shall de-cat, as soon as I have some fundage. Doesn't a VR come with different length cats? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paulr1980 0 Posted May 17, 2007 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..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
