Should I get A DE-CAT made up?

[Silver V]

Cheers Rushy, just tryin to get the last ones in as I have an appointment booked 2morra but its just to see if it can be done, if it can then I have the choice to have it fitted there and then

[Karl]

so you had it done yet?

[Silver V]

no, Im gonna do it myself with my mates, one is a welder the other a mechanic and mot tester, should only cost £30 instead of £100. £100 is a big gamble for something that may not work..

Will keep you all posted as its deffo the next thing to be done.

just de-cat a cat, no welding at all then, and easier. Trust me, I've done it to so many cars now it really works, and its a garaunteed good fit (+ doesn't look decatted )

[Silver V]

tis a good idea also. wouldnt that re-strict a bit of power?

[Karl]

nope, when you bang the cat out you leave a totally empty pipe, same as any aftermarket decat. Just make sure you clean it out before fitting

currently sourcing a DEAD cat from vauxhall.

I've been looking at performance exhausts, and I just read on one website that if your car's registered AFTER 1993, it's illegal to de-cat it. Go for a sports cat instead, you'll get 75-85% airflow instead of 50-60%.

reason they say illegal is that MOST cars won't pass emissions without, the Vetcra diesels do though

Not that it stops 99% of people doing it anyways

Interesting! That's something to think about then......
