    Default Drilling out the cat

    Hi all. I've got a 1.9 150 estate and I wondered if anybody had drilled out the cat? I've drilled my dpf out last year is the cat the same? Or is it easier to just buy a decat pipe?

    I smashed the insides of mine out with a long spiked metal bar and hammer whilst it was still in situ. Unbolted the clamp slid the centre section off the runners and started smashing. Took about 20 mins todo
